Query history

<     ^     >

FirstStop WebSearch™ provides users with easy access to previous search results. Its "Query History" contains details about the 10 most recent searches and allows users to show past results, run a past search again to refresh results, or modify a past query and rerun the search.
By default, the "Query History" window is visible and is located on the "Results" panel above the Results Viewer.
