Must be missing something in search

I'm new to this forum & to SmugMug, but I feel like I'm missing something big. I have multiple family photos I've uploaded and I've tagged them all. I can search for a name, like "Fred," and I get a page full of Fred's photos--exactly what I want.
But, I can't do anything with these photos. I'd like to be able to see a slideshow of Fred's photos, but there's no option for this. I'd also like to be able to move or copy these photos of Fred to a different gallery, but no option exists. When I click on one of Fred's photos, I'm taken to the gallery where it resides, but I need to re-run the search again to get back to the photos of Fred. In other words, I can't comments on Fred's first photo and then comment on his second one without begining another search.
It seems the search function returns the photos I want, but I can't work them in any meaningful way. I'd like to be able to look at them like I do normal gallery photos, but I can't. Can't even look at them on-screen in a bigger size than the default.
If I'm missing something, could someone please let me know how I can do this. I've searched the forums, but didn't find anything related to this problem (may not have used the right keywords). I'd appreciate any help. Thanks. :dunno

After serarching for 'fred' you'll have several different search results: keywords, galleries, photos. Try clicking on the keyword 'fred' and you'll be sent over to a gallery of 'fred' pictures. Commnets can be added and different viewing styles, including 'slide show' can be used.
Try searching for 'green' on our browse page: http://www.smugmug.com/browse/
You will get this return: http://www.smugmug.com/search/index.mg?searchWords=green&searchType=global
Click on the keyword 'green' and you will be able to view all of them in a 'gallery'.
Sorry, there isn't a menu available to move images from the 'search' page....
