Description Kast 2009-05-04 17:48:45 UTC 
Save a search query history (about 10-20 items long) and make the query input box a drop-down combo.
Also, a browser-like Back button moving to the previous result list may be extremely useful :)

This is applicable to all versions of TST.

History is only per-session (it's lost when the app is restarted). Also, if one inputs whitespace, it's also added as part of history. Not good!

Thanks for the initial patch. Could you come up with a more perfect implementation then? :)

an adequate-enough implementation; history still not persistent between sessions

@Kast: Where can I see an example of "a browser-like Back button moving to the previous result list"?

Seems this patch was committed.
Comment 7 Martyn Russell 2010-09-09 13:48:49 UTC 
This was fixed a while back
