Within the Search Panel, you can only open found files, edit, save, save as template, or perform some specific operations, such as deploying for services, and going to the parent folder in the Workspace Panel.

If you maximize the Editor Panel, Properties, Output, Outline or other panels, the default perspective will be restored to show the Search Tab when you receive search results.
