Doing an advanced search and using the back button

55 replies

Rollergirl11 · 02/03/2025 09:10

When accessing threads that have been listed as the result of an Advanced search, if you use the back button on the browser to go back to the other threads that were listed, it takes you back to the blank advanced search screen rather than the search results. This means you have to keep entering your search criteria every time after selecting one thread to read. It never used to do this. It would retain your search results and you could navigate between threads within your search. This function is now useless as you can only click on one thread before having to enter your search criteria all over again.

Hi @kittensinthekitchen thanks for raising this. On the normal search, you can hit enter to submit your query. For the advanced search, you can tab through the options and hit enter after selecting 'Search all topics.' That said, we can discuss this with the tech team to see if there’s a possibility of adjusting how it works.

Please do, thanks. It should be easy enough to implement. It used to work like that, then was changed for some reason.

Hi @Oblomov25 advanced search has been fixed - you should now be returned to returned to your search results if you use the back button on the browser.

It's been fixed but now the keywords bit doesn't work 😭

Chrome on a laptop.

It doesn't matter what words I enter, the search always comes back empty.

ETA: Ignore me, it's working now.

It's a Samsung s23 and yes, in the browser. I think it's just the Samsung Internet one.

@ThisMustBeMyDream please could you try updating your browser to the latest version? Could you also try using a different browser e.g. google chrome? If you could let us know if either of these options work, that will help us to find a solution. Thanks
