Can’t create “New Folder”

The “New Folder” is grayed out and also can’t use shortcut. Can create new folder on Home Screen though.

A bit of an explanation. When you click on a tag in the Finder sidebar, a search is done to locate all the files with that tag. They could be spread over different directories on the drive. You can't create a new folder in the search result because the Finder would have no idea what directory the folder should be created in.
