It is not clear to me want you want to achieve. Note that searching does
not change your database. I just shows only the entries that match your
search criteria.

You want to store your search results in a separate database file? As
far as I know it is not possible. Why would you like this? If you want
to make a database file with all citations used in some article you can
use the "pybcompact" script included in the package.

You can easily remove a  by right clicking on it search in the search
window. You can also perform a new search within the results of a
previous search by selecting the old search before entering a new one.
