Back button behaviour often loses state in search

[kltm]

When clicking the back button after leaving a search page, the search is lost.

This could be fixed by: adding the bookmark of the current search to the url on every action (if it doesn't try to forward.). Otherwise, a fragment could be added to the URL which is probed for when landing, and resolved when found (standard two-pass, like we have now).

This issue can be moderated by making sure that users know that they can open external/jump links in new tabs, either with click or client settings.

From @ValWood.

This has been infuriating me for so long I don't know why
I haven't opened a ticket before now.

Every time you set your filters and then proceed to an 
annotation you have to reset your filters.

Same if you want to browse all the annotations or products.
Say there are nearly 100 annotations/products and you change
the drop down, you have to reset it after EVERY annotation you 
look at to access the ones further down the list.

Ideally the default would be ~100 anyway. If you have more than 
10 you would usually want to see all them without changing a filter.

@ValWood If this is a common pattern, you can also "bookmark" your search. By clicking on that link, you will go to a bookmarked/pinned version of your current search, so you can always get back to the same spot.

Its pretty much every search I do, so I'd need to bookmark everything....

Can you make the default list longer (say 50). This would help a little. At present I need to reset the list length every single time I look at anything over the 10th entry.
