Dropping folder to Search box is ignored.
I think, Dropping "Most Visited" (and also "Recent Tags" and "Recent bookmarked") should be ignored.

I don't think there's a privacy problem here, since you explicitly drag a container to a search field. containers (either queries or folders) provide a text flavor to be able to drag them a text field in a form, a textarea, or just a text editor.
This bug looks like requesting a lots of special casing for an eventual privacy hit that in reality can hardly happen. The cost is not worth the benefit.
