In Quicken, if i delete an entry from a search will it also delete from the file

Question

I want to do a broad search and from that search I want to delete transactions that are not wanted/needed to refine the broad search down.  For instance, for taxes I have selected all transactions that I tagged as being medical.  However, I need only those transactions that involve travel expenses.  Can I delete those transactions from the search that do not involve travel but still have them once I'm done with massaging the search?

When you search inside a register you're still looking at the register, it's just hiding transactions that don't match the search terms. It's not a report or a special window showing the search results. So any changes you make to a transaction while looking at search results will be permanent because you're changing the actual transaction.
