It's a known issue, see:

Rhythmbox is trying to get away from thinking of your music as separate
files.  So this wouldn't really fit in with that view.  Instead what
we'd like to do is have a tool for fixing your metadata, and perhaps
automatically reorganizing your library on disk too.

It only resets the browser if the song isn't visible currently.

Hmm.  That might be possible, although there are some corner cases,
particularly once we have metadata editing.

That's a good idea.

I guess the search is kind of useless if you're not connected to the
Internet at least.  How exactly it would be configurable needs more
thought.

You can already do this by selecting all the songs and dragging and
dropping to a nautilus window.

If nautilus had icons for each script, you could likewise do this by
dragging the songs to a nautilus script.
