Bug Description
just an annoyance: imagine you want to delete an email from all the address books. you click on the top item "All Address Books" and then enter the email into the search box. let's assume the search shows you several hits which all appear in the window below the search box. you click on the first one and you press the delete key. a dialog appears and you confirm the action with ok. the window, which was up until now showing several hits to your search, refreshes and shows you *all* your emails, in spite that the search box is still showing your selection restriction. imho, this is a contradiction. either the search box has to be reset to empty or the window should again show the corresponding selection.

(Pretty sure this is still a bug on the trunk, but reporting it against 45 because that's where I verified it today.)
1. Open the address book.
2. Do a search to limit which contacts are displayed.
3. Click on one of them, click the Delete button to delete it, and confirm the delete.
4. Observe that your search term remains in the search box, but the contact list has reset to everyone rather than to the contacts that match the search.
The ideal behavior here would be for the search to persist properly after the delete, i.e., the contact list would continue to list only the contacts matching the search. Less ideal, but better than current behavior, would be for the search box to be cleared after a delete. The current behavior, where the search box remains filled in but is no longer being applied, is clearly wrong.
