Choosing a syntax search that's a re-do runs automatically

Robert Pavich

I noticed that when choosing a previously used syntax search, it automatically runs; when, In my mind, you are choosing a previously executed search because it didn't work and you want to change something...but now you have to wait for the same failure before you can do that...

can the default be that the search opens as it did during the creation process and THEN hit the "go" button?

I got confused with this Query | Recent list as well. The current search name (displayed below Search in the Search pane) allows this, so maybe the "Recent" list

• displays a creation/modified timestamp to help with duplicates!
• has a Context menu for Modify | Run (this is contrary to what I suggested elsewhere, to get rid of Context menu in File | Open for consistency, but I think the X should be replaced with Delete in the context menu and the default action should be to click and Modify)
