I should say i second sarfraaz thoughts on this. The right fix for this
would be have a New Search folder option, with the properties as
mentioned by sarf.

OK. I agree with the issue with nested Search folders. That should not
be allowed.

So if you could rework on the patch to do this, would be fine.
