Bug Description
As reported by Kyle Davis:
I sometimes use the program as a running list for vocab I've come across but haven't committed to memory yet. Because of this, when I lose the bottom-pane history, it's like losing a little bit of work. Obviously the language itself isn't going anywhere and I'll come across the content again.
To reproduce the crash:
- start a new instance of Tagaini Jisho 0.2.5 on Vista.
- search for something that will produce no results, like "*耿*".
- search for something that will produce results, like "*虻*".
- click the "back" button in the search pane. This will clear the "*虻*" results.
- click somewhere in the now-empty search results pane. This should gray out both the forward and back buttons for the search pane.
- search for something that will produce results, like "*虻*".
- crash.

There are actually two bugs here (possibly three):
1) clicking on the empty search results pane clears the search history out
2) a regexp-related crash that seems similar to the one in #567058
and
3) the user loses the search and detailed view history when the program crashes (which does not happen often, but is always frustrating anyway). Saving the search history in the database or config file (latter may not be practicable) sounds like a good idea.
