You can reapply previous searches made in a Model Manager database via the Search History menu list () in the Model Manager, Open, Select File, and Select Model window’s toolbars. This may be useful, for example, if you have applied various filters in one window and now quickly want to reuse those filters in another window.

A new entry is added to the top of the list every time you perform a new search — either by clicking the Search button () or by pressing Enter. The entry contains the search term used in the search field as well as any applied filters — see Applied Filter Pills. At most 20 unique search entries are shown in the list. If a previous search made in another window used filters that are not applicable in the current window, the corresponding entry will be excluded in the current window’s search history list.

Selecting an entry resets the search term and the filters, thereby replacing any existing search term and filters already set in the window. Select Clear Search History () to clear the list of all its entries.

Each Model Manager database you add to the COMSOL Desktop keeps its own list of previous searches. If you want to reuse a previous search in another database, select the entry in the Search History menu list () of the first database from the Model Manager window and then activate the other database via the Database section on the Home toolbar — see Activating a Database. The Model Manager window will automatically update with the activated database as the search target while keeping the existing search term and applied filters.
