This is how breadcrumbs work on every Web site I know of that uses them. Doing a search is a shortcut into the navigation hierarchy, so choosing a search result may take you down more than one level.
Whether navigating upward should clear the search results is a tricky question, though, and at the moment I don't know the answer.
User story 1: Jacinda is looking for something to play movies, so she searches for "movie" from the front page. She clicks on "Movie Player (GStreamer)" VLC" and reads the description, but decides it sounds too geeky. She realizes that "Sound and Video" is the right category, so she clicks on "Sound and Video". But she still wants to be seeing only those applications that have something to do with movies, so she wants the search to be retained.
User story 2: Jacinda gives up on searching for movie players, and now wants to install something completely different. So she clicks on "Get Free Software" to return to the main screen. She is disoriented to find that the Store is showing not the main screen, but the top-level search results for "movie". She did not want the search to be retained.
