Warning - the Find box can delete source folders!
The first time I added a search location I too tried dragging it to the find dialog and since that worked I also tried dragging it off. The first attempt failed because I simply dragged it out of the dialog - sorta like dragging something out of the dock. When that didn't work I tried dragging it to the trash. That worked...then I began to wonder about it. I discovered that directory was in the trash. That behavior sorta made sense and sorta didn't. I posted a feedback to Apple about it.
that's what so annoying about this!
It is inconsistent! I am getting pissed, because I see now how I deleted the folders I needed.

It is logical, by dragging the folder to the trash, you have not said I want to remove this search item, you have said I want to move this folder to the trash.

Perhaps it's logical to you, but I still use OS 9 on one of my machines, and using Sherlock 2, the OS 9 Find which is quite similar to OS X's, if you want to remove a Search location, you either drag it to the trash or CMD-delete. There is no remove button, and hitting delete alone does nothing. In short, this is not only different behavior, it's dangerously different.

i'm sorry that you'd lost your files. i was near to loose my library folder with all my mail at least.

I must be missing the point. In Find window, Specific places selected, I can drag items into the window and they're added to the list. Select that item, hit delete key, and they're removed, WITHOUT anything going to the trash.
