Assigning this bug to jglick since the Address Book Advanced Search spec does
not mention these extra buttons.

I've asked drivers for approval.

if I get it, I'll land, and morph this bug to just cover delete / copy / move.

Especially Delete would be helpful. You cannot even press the Delete key on a
card shown in Advanced Search! But if you do a simple search in the main window,
you can delete. So say your addresses are partitioned into those containing
"mycompany.com" and others, and you want to go through each to delete unused
collected addresses. First enter "mycompany.com" in the "Name or Email
contains:" field. Then go through the internal addresses using arrow keys and
Delete unused ones - fine. But now there is no easy way to delete external
addresses. You can only find them using the Advanced window, and when you do,
you cannot then delete them easily.

I had a word with Seth and he isn't working on this bug at the moment. Therefore
removing the assigned status.

Delete button was helpfully added by Aceman in bug 749564.

Hooking up the context menu to found results should be simple.
