</div></div>So yes, just to confirm this would be a request to revert back to the original behaviour (option 2). Have you not seen any cases where users switch back from some other task and are confused by a previous filter they had forgotten about or not realised they had triggered? I've certainly seen that at least a few times now with novice Sugar users (young adults ~20-25, technically competent, university educated, experimenting with Sugar in a group situation). Usually I have to lean over and clear the search for them, from then on they seem to be OK and manually clear searches themselves.<br>

Any other alternative behaviours?<br>
<br>
Here's one possible enhancement: What if the search entry has a history drop down of the last N searches queries. The UI down side, is that it would eat a chunk of the top left canvas while you were entering a search, that might well have your result in it (Neighbourhood, Group, Home favourite layouts).<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I think is better keep the search as worked before. The drop down will take develop time we don't have now,</div><div>and we need check how will interact with osk.</div><div><br></div>
