The name of the pane changes, but they are still, in effect, children of the item. Think of it as a saved search. When you select a saved search, you see the children of that item. I don't know if this is clear - I hope so.

I ask because sometimes I want the search results to persist for a while so I can use of the results for assigning items, flagging, etc., but if I click on a folder, the search results are replaced by the child items for that folder.

But not if you single click. The search results remain. Again, think of the child pane. If you select a child in that pane with children, you can view its details. However, double clicking will select that child and the view in the child pane changes to the its children.
I know the help file can be a bit difficult, but it is very informative. Once things "click" the rest will fall into place. I urge you to spend some time reading and experimenting!
