### Feature description A toggle option in settings should be added to switch the search history searches, often partial, and replace them with a button for the song previously chosen itself. ### Problem solved Makes the UI cleaner. (I’m not sure how to answer this, sorry) ### Brought benefits Reduces clicks when re-searching, cleans up the UI. ### Other application solutions Spotify does this I think ### Device type Phone ### I searched existing feature requests on ---

Please clarify I have no idea what you are meaning. Search finds many other things than tracks. ---

Sorry for my poor explanation. I mean that when you search and select an item, that item would show up in the history, instead of the search term. ![Proposed Behaviour](http://support.symfonium.app/uploads/default/original/2X/4/4f98e687e9651f9e7491a7a1a3b4a139c817cd40.png) ![Current behaviour](http://support.symfonium.app/uploads/default/original/2X/6/63364d9d30c0d39ecbe6e2e6b28b4d54ad8aaba2.png) I’ve made a mockup in paint. ---

Can you give any update on this? ---

Hi, the mockup above is exactly what I’d like: the search history showing the item I actually opened (song, album or artist) with its cover art, type and artist name, like Spotify’s “Recents”, instead of the partial text I typed. I often search with just a few letters (“patri”, “char”, “olivi”), so the current history doesn’t tell me what I opened. An optional toggle in settings would be perfect so everyone can keep the text version if they prefer. Thanks! ---

@Tolriq can you provide an update? I understand that other things may be more pressing, but a simple planned or not would be really helpful. Thanks. ---

The tags set on the requests are clear ---

Its been under “needs-triage” for almost 6 months. ---

So what ? You prefer that I directly close as won’t implement to solve your need for fast decision ? ---

No, I’d prefer if you worked with me to triage the feature request and decide if it should be implemented or not. ---

And that’s what the current tag says … Can you stop now ? It’s either waiting for decision or decided. So again if you want fast decision I can just refuse this or you patiently wait …
