Feature Request: Add menu 'previous/last' search WITHOUT Bookmarking

[pstein]

Lets start with a standard search: I enter a search pattern. Everything shows the results. Good.

Now I enter just another search pattern. It works. Good

But when I want to see the result list of the previous search I have to re-enter the (possibly long, complicated) previous search pattern again.

I would appreciate to have a new menu "previous/last" sub menu (below "view") to let Everything remember and re-show these results much more quickly.

Can this be added in the next release?

Thank you
Peter

Why ?
You already have the search history by using the drop down arrow in the search field.

[void]

To enable search history:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the History tab on the left.
• Check Enable Search History.
• Click OK.

To add a search to your search history:

• Press ENTER in the search box
  -or-
• Perform an action on a result.

To go back to a previous search:

• Press Alt + Left Arrow

To view your search history:

• Click the drop down box to the right of the search box.

To auto complete your search from search history:

• Press Ctrl + Space

Search History will be enabled by default in Everything 1.5:

ok, thank you for the answers.
However the History feature is not satisfying.

1.) I want to keep the history not for a number of days but until I exit Everything. At exit is should be auto-cleared
In addition an option to keep only the last X (e.g.3) history entries would be useful as well.

2.) I already have to remember approx.2134124 key combinations for 37467 programs.
Having to remember a 2134125th key combination for go prev. (ALT + arrow left) is too user unfriendly.
Can a menu be added as I suggested in the first post?

3.) Similarly having to press ENTER to add a search to history is too complicated.
Most probably I will forget this intermediate step.
Can a search pattern be automatically added to history whenever I (double) click on a result line (file or folder)?

Thank you

Thank you for your feedback pstein,

1.) I want to keep the history not for a number of days but until I exit Everything. At exit is should be auto-cleared

Everything 1.5 will have separate always enabled navigation history.

2.) I already have to remember approx.2134124 key combinations for 37467 programs.
Having to remember a 2134125th key combination for go prev. (ALT + arrow left) is too user unfriendly.

Please try the View -> Go To menu.
There will be a main History menu in Everything 1.5.

3.) Similarly having to press ENTER to add a search to history is too complicated.
Can a search pattern be automatically added to history whenever I (double) click on a result line (file or folder)?

Double clicking on a result line would be performing an action on a result, which will add your search to your search history.
