Description

If you perform a search, then navigate to another page, then do another search, it will load the results page for the new search that you were on before the search. For example, if you search for "browser" and go to page 2, then search for "firefox," you'll get page 2 of the results for the firefox search. If there are no results on page x (2 in this example), it will then automatically load page 1. It should always start you off with the first page.

This was actually reported in #104 but I felt it was appropriate to open a new issue since that one was closed despite the issue still being present and there hasn't been a response to my comment regarding that in over a year and a half.

Research direction

Reproduce the search sequence in the GUI: search for one term, move to page 2, then search for another term. Trace where the current page is retained between searches; done means every new search opens page 1 of its results, including when later pages have no results.
