When talking about saved searches, the gnome Desktop User Guide states:
"Saved searches behave exactly like regular folders, for example you can
open, move or delete files from within a saved search".

That's true in nautilus. But if, using any application's "open file"
dialog, and try to open a file located inside a saved search "folder",
you can't. In this case the saved search is seen as a regular file, not
a folder.

Steps to reproduce.

1.-Inside my home directory I've created a saved search that holds all
the pdf files located in any of my folders.

2.- I open evince, and select File>Open to open a pdf file from the
previously created saved search "folder".

3.-The "open file" dialog apears.

What I expected to happen:
    I can navigate inside the saved search, as it is like any regular folder, 
and I open the file.

What happened instead
    I can't navigate inside the saved search
