#94 Persist search results.
I would like to see search results persist between
invocations. If I accidentally close the app, or the
computer or app crashes, I lose all my search results.
When I restart it immediately, I can no longer start
new downloads that were there or drop the results of
already downloaded files from the search pane. This
has caused me big hassles in the past.
It's possible that a large time has elapsed since you
last opened the app, and the results might be outdated,
but this can happen regardless of whether the app is
closed or not. So I filed an RFE separately about
removing old results.
This could possibly be a pref for people who don't want
this behaviour. However, people who turn it off should
still have their results persisted, in case a crash
occurs. In this case, a prompt would ask them whether
they wish to restore the results, if they usually don't
want to. Then results would only be removed from disk
on normal exit or startup.

This is indeed something to be desired. Although I can live
with it as it is, being able to exit and still find the search result
on restart would be great.
