No plans to do anything about it. The behavior is correct. It brings you to the parent folder, which happens to be the search results.
It is technically correct that the search results page becomes the new parent folder. However, conceptually, and without regard for the way that the Windows search handles this particular task, the parent should remain unchanged and always be Folder1. It is counter-intuitive for the "UP" button to bring you back to the search page rather than to the "biological parent" folder.

As an alternative, you can press Back as you said or Alt+Left instead of Up/Alt+Up.
I'm afraid you may not be grasping the issue that this inquiry is addressing. The issue is with the way that Windows recreates the filepath after doing a search in Windows explorer. Instead of the traditional filepath that we are used to seeing starting with C: (C:\Users\PHart\Documents\Folder1\Folder2 ) , the search recreates a new filepath with the root of the path being the search ( search-ms:displayname=Search%20Results%20in%20Docs&crumb=location:C%3A%5CUsers%5CPHart%5CDocuments\Folder2 ), which effectively "eats all of the bread that was left on the trail", making it impossible to retrace your path using the traditional "UP" button method.
Maybe the behavior is correct, but as a user, it is not the behavior that I would expect. And I'm not the only one complaining - I work in a large organization and several of my colleagues also find this to be counterintuitive and annoying.
