The package manager widget is recreated from scratch every time. It has no persistent data.
Comment 3 Stefan Hundhammer 2008-08-12 17:23:49 UTC 
This is not meant to be an everlasting history. I also doubt that this would be particularly useful for anybody.
Comment 4 Ladislav Nesnera 2008-08-13 13:22:44 UTC 
I can't agree I'm afraid.
1) It would be fine have saved same queries for next using (they can be complicated, regular expressions)
2) It's rather strange give the ability to hold search history between separate searching but forgot it if you click the "Accept" button but you want continue in the managing of SW after that = without leave the YaST2 GUI

But it's my view. It's matter of voting ;?)
Comment 5 Ladislav Nesnera 2008-09-30 09:24:08 UTC 
Can you consider the suggestion once more? If I append new SW I need to find this package again often because I'm looking for way how to run this new SW (boldface files in the "File list")
I don't need everlasting history but history which persists for a linux's or a YaST2's session.
