Hi. #11378 doesn't talk about keeping the meta-data in the history generically. It mentions remembering the state for the last search, but you'd still have the issue in this bug for older searches. So unless I missed it (very possible since it was a very long thread), that bug doesn't touch on this. We can propose new things, however :)

I don't know how much complexity we want here. Each history item can be a richer structure than just the search string. Too much?
