Doing an advanced search and using the back button

7 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 @Rollergirl11 (and anyone else experiencing this issue) - please can you let us know which device and browser you're using so we can take a closer look.

Thanks in advance.

Whilst on the subject of the back button, mine no longer takes me back to where I was the active list the vast majority of the time. It takes me back to the active list, but the top of it, not the section of the page t I'd scrolled down to previously. Anyone else?

Hi @ThisMustBeMyDream, are you using the back button in your internet browser? Could you let us know which internet browser and device you are using so that we can look into this? Thanks

@BellaMumsnet

What about this?

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.

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
