Fully Integrate Search and Inline Search

I love how the Inline Search is a fully functional search that can handle operators and keywords (compared to ctrl-F which is a very basic text search). I also love how you can filter the results within the resource so you can see your highlights and hover over notes and footnotes. This is often a much better format for viewing search results than through the dedicated Search tab which limits the number of results per article and doesn't show formatting, highlighting, visual filters, notes, etc.
Please consider integrating the stand-alone Search and the Inline Search by:
1. Within the standalone Search results, allow the user to click the resource in order to open up the resource with the same search automatically applied as an inline search.
2. Within every resource tab, the Inline Search should have the standalone Search history built in, so you can easily pull a dropdown to get recent searches as an Inline Search.
