Description

🐛 Summary

Going back from a vulnerability to search page is inconvenient, because the original search result that was shown in the right is no longer selected.

To reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Perform a search.
  2. Click on a domain to preview it on the right.
  3. Click on a vulnerability.
  4. Go back to the previous page.
  5. The previously selected domain is not selected; you are back at the original search page and have to re-select / re-find the domain.

Expected behavior

When you go back to the search page, the previously selected domain should continue to be selected.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the search, domain preview, vulnerability, and back-navigation flow described in the issue. Trace how the selected domain and page history are represented when moving between these views, then verify that returning to the search page preserves the previously selected domain.
