Folly. See my reply to Dani.

Today, you do fail to find it. It is completely lost.
But I cannot imagine that you really want to be able to find _all_ such
unvisited search strings on your search rings.
To me, being able to retrieve just the last such string is adequate - TRT. I've
used this feature (what I proposed). I suggest you try it, and you try also
your suggestion of systematically adding all successful searches to the rings,
and then compare.
If you do decide to do what you are proposing, please provide us users a way out
- a way to keep the sane search histories of today, without their pollution by
umpteen zillion abandoned searches.
