Which brings an idea to mind that I think was mentioned here some
while back: How about adding a button, that saves the current search
result (including browser-selection filters) as an Automatic Playlist?
Of course, that would require the Automatic Playlists to be able to do
everything that the search box does. But if I do a search (for example
for 'MTV' and cut it down to my favourite artists by selecting them in
the browser) and I like the results, that button may come in handy.
UI-wise, the button could be located on the far right-hand side of the
search-bar.

Just jumped into my mind.
