Would anybody else find a proper search history useful?

[Mike P 2,968]

I have never (ie Legacy and V10) found that the back arrow always gives me the expected results. For example, for me, this sequence:

• Do a search for one tag and then add a second tag to filter down the results
• Then click on a completely different tag to create a new search/filter 
• Press back arrow - it does nothing

Of course in the Web version the browser back button gives me exactly what I expect!

My current workaround is that if I have search results I want to come back to, after going away and looking at something else, I save the search and make it a shortcut. (I have an AutoHotKey script that saves the search with the automatic name "last_search" to speed up the process)

So I would like the back arrow in the desktop version to behave the same as the back arrow in the web version. Ideally it should also be possible to right click the back arrow to see the recent search history (again as per browser behaviour).

I can see that this would be useful for some ways of working. I'm not sure If use it but perhaps I've given up using the back arrow because it didn't function intuitively 🥴

Completely agree - the back button is basically busted.

It's as if it only functions without tags used at all in the search - from an era before tags
