Use a Save As shortcut for smart folders

macosxhints - 10.4: Use a Save As shortcut for smart folders:

“I was just working a second ago and I pressed the Option key while I was doing a Spotlight finder search. When I did so, the Save button (by the plus sign) turned into a Save As button.”

That’s truly useful. I wish there weren’t so many Menu’s and Buttons in OS X that change on the Option key press. In this case, the context menu changes, too (the gear menu). I can see having only one button, but I don’t see why they don’t have two menu items in that dropdown.
