Search history

I make heavy use of the search feature in Blender & what I've noticed that I often need to use the same actions repeatedly. For example if I was fixing normals in a model, I might switch between selecting similar and flip.

Where it becomes cumbersome is that you have to retype the search over and over to alternate between the two actions.

I would be ecstatic if the search bar would keep a short list of previously used actions for easy access.

I like this idea, but I don't think the developers will be in a hurry to implement this because Quick Favorites is a temporary crutch for this.

Maybe some of this functionality can be implemented by fixing/extending the Repeat History (from Edit menu) operator - that isn't much used anyway, AFAIK. At least, it would be great if Repeat History didn't clear it's list on Undo/Redo operations (which I use heavily).
