Currently if you enter search terms in the song selection screen and only 1 mapset is found, if you play a difficulty of said mapset and return to the song selection screen again, your search terms will be erased.

This is fine if you have the sorting set to something that would keep the mapset grouped without search results, however, if you sort by difficulty, for example, the search terms will still be erased upon returning to the song selection, and you only have one out of the multiple difficulties you wanted to see close by.

Now while this is sort of an edge case, this annoys me sometimes because depending on what I want to do I have to either re-type my entire search, changing my sorting, or both.

Here's a video example of why I want this to behave differently:

Once again, I know this is sort of an edge case and it doesn't take a lot of effort on my part to just re-do the search, but at the same time I don't see why anyone would want their search terms deleted in this scenario.

Anyhow, there's a few possible solutions I want to propose to this:
-Have an option to not automatically delete search terms if only one mapset is found. (Yay, more toggles!)
-Have it not remove search terms without the user deleting them, ever. (Because it only takes a single key press to delete them.)
-Have it not removing search terms automatically if the sorting does not keep the mapset grouped without them. (Such as by difficulty.)

The bottom one would be ideal I guess. Also, please don't shoot stars to this. It'll probably be wasted as this is more of a derpy side-effect, yet not a bug, yet not a true feature request.

Hm, at first view it's kinda handy if you didn't have used any keywords like status, bpm, ar, etc., but it's a pain to write it again, even when you only found one beatmap.

I am personally ok when everything except the keywords get erased on this case.

Someone propose me a better title please.
Retain song select search terms

It kinda bugs me that I need to retype in the stuff too. I will be onboard with you idea only if this gets implemented.

Changed. Thanks.

This is why I always leave 'temporary' search terms such as the ones shown in the video for last, so that I can erase them.

I don't see why you need that to be on board for this but whatever. Point-in-text selection would be handy though.

Veilstar, check out what I wrote here and see if it can be applied to this request. I am thinking to have some some key combination like ctrl+backspace to clear the search terms when needed.
