          Priority: normal
            Bug ID: 3545
                CC: mercurial-devel at selenic.com
          Assignee: bugzilla at selenic.com
           Summary: THG filter toolbar: searches without result are not
                    added to search history
          Severity: feature
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Windows
          Reporter: cfr at recommind.com
          Hardware: PC
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: unspecified
         Component: Mercurial
           Product: Mercurial

Motivation: I am making intensive use of the filter toolbar in THG, working on
a huge repository with LOTS of changesets and often 25 concurrent branches.

On such a repo, the query takes - say - 5 seconds before it returns. That is
acceptable in general.

However, it happens that I make a typo or that no results are returned (for
whatever reason). In such a case, THG reports that it did not find results
(which is expected).

PROBLEM: it does not insert the statement into the search history - and I have
to retype it from scratch.

My current work-around is to copy-paste each query before I hit enter - such
that I can restore it in case of "no results found".

Feature request: It would be great if THG would automatically restore the
unsuccessful query such that I can modify it.

I understand that you may not want it in the search history - and that might be
a good idea, actually. Perhaps it is sufficient to reinsert it after returning
from the query?
