Useful control links on search page

Title:
Useful control links on search page

Area:
search, entries

Summary:
When searching your own entries, get additional useful links, such as edit entry, edit tags. This could possibly also include control links for entries not in your own journal, if you have permission to retag in that journal, or for communities where you are an administrator.

Description:
Sometimes, when you're searching entries, you're searching for the purpose of editing the entry or its tags. In those cases, you have to first open the entry, then go to edit the tags or the entry.

It could be helpful to offer links to edit the entry or tags.

User interface-wise, the links could possibly be fit in without disrupting the flow too much or making it take up any more lines:

As far as technical concerns are concerned, the edit entry and edit tags links are easy to create when you know the journal name and "itemid" (the number that appears in the entry link); this entry's edit entry and edit tags links are: http://www.dreamwidth.org/editjournal?journal=dw_suggestions&itemid=1308250 and http://www.dreamwidth.org/edittags?journal=dw_suggestions&itemid=1308250

Since one-time code is potentially an obnoxious thing, I wonder if this could re-use either the action-box or the code that builds the useful links in journals.
