P: Moving images from folder to folder

If you have hundreds of folders, it's burdensome to select and move images to a second folder which can be hard (and certainly time consuming) to find.   Would be great if you could select the images,  then click on the "Recent Sources" (or "Favorite Sources")  triangle in lower tool bar to bring it up, and then move your selected images to that folder.   What happens now is you lose the selection when you click the triangle.
Or I'm open to some other clever method of getting the two folders easily that I don't know about.  It's much easier with Collections where you can make one a target and then move all images in with a simple "b".

@rogsonl An Album is not a folder. This question was all about classic and not about CC.

I'm suggesting an interface where you could see folders like you can in the computer's interface. To make organizational tasks as easy as they are in the Mac's Finder or Windows Explorer.

It works for CC not Classic. Finally figured it out. You use the drop down list to select the target Album

It's not a search, it's a "filter" option - at the top of the folders panel.

I cannot see a search option for the folders in LR CC, where is it?

This is an idea of genius.   I LOVE it!!   I hate to admit this but I've never used "search folder" and this is opening up blessed new avenues of navigating Lightroom.  Thank you so much!
