KVR Search results- is it me?

[ccDuckett]

Hey gang,

Maybe there's something obvious my old brain has missed- but in case there isn't, I'll blather on...
is there a way to make the results of Search NOT erased/forgotten by the browser (Chrome in my case), if "Open in new tab" isn't used on a result link?

So many times, I've been dumb and hit "Back", only to get whatever page I was on before Search.
This seems counterintuitive to me as a user; most people, I would think, are used to search engines wherein returning to search results simply means hitting the "Back" button/key.

Since Search offers not a few parameters to customize, it's not fun to have to re-enter everything
if you've run a pretty specific search and forget hitting Back resets everything.

Obviously, this is not a universe-collapsing crisis, but any non-sniffy-and-dismissive feedback is welcome

I think you hit the nail on the head...

If you could rephrase or ask the same question again in a more easily understandable manner, then maybe someone can help you.
What is the problem you have?

Ditto on ccDuckett's explanation.

The search takes you to where you can't return to the same place...
I've not seen any other search that does this either... a bit frustrating to say the least.

A workaround is right click then open in new tab. I usually forget to do this here.

Thanks for all the replies, even if it was hard to get my point/question; it's probably just old expectations of web hierarchy that let you click a link from a results page, hit the "back" button after loading the link, and return to a preserved results page (including results page number as well as keyword settings) without a reset search engine.
