Hello, I have one question regarding history:
- my search term is just "software" and I want to open a folder "D:\My Docs\Software". As search results are sorted by filename, there are many other folders that contain my search term and the folder I want to open is 20th on the result list. Now I hit tab and then the down arrow to reach the folder I want to open. The next time that I search for "software" (exactly the same search term) I press enter or tab and again the 1st search result is selected. Is it possible that if the search term is exactly the same with a previous search, then when I hit tab or enter, then the file that I opened in the previous search is selected?

This will be possible with the next release of Everything with run history support.
