Description
# Bug Report
**Version(s):**
Ionic: **5.0.7**
Stencil: **1.12.4**
**Current behavior:**
Using the stencil ionic pwa starter, starting at the home component with a url that has search parameters:
`http://localhost:3333/?name=value`
Navigate to the profile page:
`http://localhost:3333/profile/ionic`
Then use `` to navigate back:
`http://localhost:3333`
**Expected behavior:**
Maintain the query parameters when navigating back (if possible):
`http://localhost:3333/?name=value`
**Other information:**
Here is a repo, its a modified ionic pwa starter, with a searchbar at the top of the home layout to change query props:
https://github.com/ajmchambers/ionic-router-example-2

Not really sure what the intended behaviour should be for the `` so this may be considered a feature request rather than a bug.
The back button seems to use `` to go back, maybe the search parameter string at the time of navigating could be added into the view history or something like that.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the navigation flow in the linked ionic-router-example-2 repository, starting at the query-parameter URL and using ion-back-button to return from the profile page. Read the ion-back-button and ion-nav navigation behavior; done means returning to the home page preserves the original query parameters, with the intended behavior confirmed by a regression test.
