So yes, the new behaviour would clear the search when you returned later.

Yes that is a fair use case, especially if you have lots of activities installed, and I do wish we had more active developers like you! :) Can I ask, do you spend more time working in Sugar's home list view, or the home favourite view? Would making your test activity a Favourite be a practical option? Again, this depends how many Activities you already have favourited ;)
