Bug Description
Hypotetical case:
I'm looking for a music album that has the same name of a music track.
I start typing the name on the "home" lens, but I realize it not discriminates albums from tracks.
I switch to the music lens.
My search criteria is lost, and I must retype the search.
Now, I can see that every lens retains the last search string (or the lack of it). I'm not completely sure that this is useful, and interferes in cases as the above. I feel there is room for a minor improvement there.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Thank you for submitting this bug report. However, this involves a change in the behavior of the lenses which requires approval from the design team. Hence before starting to work on this request, we need the confirmation. Hence marking incomplete until we get that approval.
