How is that different from the way the Trash folder already works? Trash 
*is* a search folder. The contents are physically in the same place they 
were before being deleted. They haven't been moved (and don't have to be 
moved back if they're undeleted). That's the whole point.

The Junk folder works the same way BTW.
