Usability Issue: Filters Are Not Recalled from Search History

Post by ajaberi »

The **Everything** software provides a very useful feature that allows users to view their **search history**. However, there is an important limitation in this functionality:
the filters previously used for different searches are not remembered.
I have many recurring search queries, each of which is usually performed with a specific filter. For example:

* When searching for `Atlasti.exe`, I always select the **Executable files** filter.
* When searching for “thesis,” I usually apply the **Text files** filter.

Although these search terms appear in the search history and can be reused, the associated filters are not restored, and the filter must be manually reselected each time.

If filters could be saved and recalled together with each search entry in the history, it would significantly improve search speed and overall usability.
