Search history not remembered across restarts

[Ldp]

The new search history is neat, but it would be even neater if it would remember the searches across restarts, just like changeset comments are remembered. For bonus points, the associated action (replace/add to/remove from/find in selection) could be remembered as well, in combination with the search field.

If it was already designed to remember, please reclassify this as a defect, as I'm not seeing that behaviour yet.

It's an enhancement, unlike e.g. the comment history the search history uses ArrayList stored in memory, so it dies with the JOSM process.

Thanks for this enhancement !

I would also prefere to have the search history saved. Especially with search I often use the same but sometimes complex terms.

Thanks skyper

If #4546 were implemented, I wouldn't mind that much if my other searches are not remembered across restarts, as I can then bookmark my favourite searches as toolbar button.
