How does adobe bridge keep track of moved files?

I realize that i can tag, make collections of, and give star ratings to various images, but if i move them around into difference directories and such, is bridge aware enough to apply those settings to files whose locations have moved?  If not, how do i move images around from folder to folder so that Bridge can keep tabs on them, and the marking/filtering data is still applicable?  Thanks.

So for directories I'm going to use bridge with often, i want to make sure that I don't move files around via Windows explorer, because Bridge will lose track of those files/folders.

Can you tell me where the setting is to choose to store the DB in each folder?

Ok last question.  Let's say there's a file I'm using, which has been rated and added to a collection in Bridge.  And i move this file via Windows Explorer to a new directory.  Bridge won't know what happened to the file unless i browse to that directory, IN BRIDGE, and it goes "aha, i know this file."  Or does Bridge lose any understanding of the metadata it adds to the file once it's lost track of it?  Hopefully this is clear.
