Would it be possible to have Search service Tabs created and stay on screen, for each individual search? As opposed to getting reset/reused?
I would like to do a search and have the results stay available in a separate tab.
Then do a second or third search and have those also saved in a separate tab.
This would allow me to select each tab for review and help me asses which search has returned the most desirable results......
What do you think Alex? Can this be done?
Search service Tabs
but what you describe it is exactly how it works now, there is a single search service tab and every search goes to a dedicated subtab, even if it is the same search.
if you don't close the main search service tab but close individual searches subtabs (use the innermost X to the right), the rest or searches will be preserved, so all is up to you.

Multiple search tabs for same search?
Perhaps I should have started a new thread but I will tack on to this one...
What is the rationale for have multiple search tabs for the same exact search? This seems like a bug to me. Is there a way to disable multiple tabs from spawning on the same search?
Thanks,
Jason

Yeh, it's called Human Intervention....
If you don't do the same search twice (and why should you?) you won't get multiple tab's for the same search.
Ofcourse there would be a way to program "human errors" out, but that's not really important. Look at it this way: You still can format your harddrives even if you don't want to. Should Microsoft remove that feature to prevent accidents?

The search is not intended to be a replacement for getting headers.
And that's where you are using it for if I read your last post correct.
Apparently you are using the search to find brand new files, and if a post is not compleet yet, you will check again 5 minutes later?
If you want to make this free search impossible to be free, that's what you should do! You are creating a lot of unnecesary traffic!
If that is what you are doing, please stop! Let us all enjoy this fine feature, and don't destroy it for all of us!!! If you just want to wacht headers go use one of those indexing sites!
By the way: you know you can use the filters in your search results? So if you get to much hits on your initial search you can use filters to refine your search without doing a new search? Just in case this is your problem....

Okay it would appear this discussion is getting way off topic. My question and only question is...what is the reasoning behind having multiple search tabs for the same search? I only came to notice the multiple tabs by accident in the first place and then searched the forum to find out if this was normal behaviour or a bug. But it looks to be working as designed from Alex's post. So I simply ask why it this way? But I guess since there is no answer, then I'll just leave it be.
And no, I do not use the search feature to monitor postings, and I do not check 5 minutes later on incomplete posts. I do download the headers. And yes I filter those headers using the fine filters in UE. Finding what I'm looking for is not the problem.

in principle it is possible to implement discarding/updating search results with the same search parameters, but it is not only the search string matters but also the rest - range, group selection, etc, just would require a little more code and storing little more information associated with the search tab results view.
