There is no command to go back from a search to the normal browse of the current location. (Refresh (F5) does it, but it does too much because it also refreshes the tree.)

What would be a good name for this?
- Clear Search
- Reset Search
- Unsearch
- Back to Browse
- Browse

- Reset Search

Those sound to me like the tab stays in search mode.

Not quite as clear to me as the last two, plus the undo-connection.

admin wrote:- Back to Browse
- Browse

Of the two, I think Back to Browse, is clearest.

I have to correct myself:
Refresh (F5) and Refresh List (Ctrl+F5) go back to browse only on unlocked search results tabs.
On locked search results tabs they will redo the search.

So, well, Refresh List (Ctrl+F5) does what I want for unlocked search results tab. So the only point here is: there is no menu command to go back to browse from a locked search results tab. Unless you want to go back right away after the search: then Go to Previous Location (F7) will do it. So, hmm, an extra command "Back to Browse" might not be that necessary... What do you think?

For people in the know, you're quite right. For newbies and for consistency's sake however, having an explicit command on both kinds of tabs to return to browse mode, sounds handy to me.

as my search tabs are set to be unlocked, i mostly use Back button. didn't know Refresh List makes that too.
in my case F5 is Refresh List, so i already have my good(new) "back to browse"-behaviour.
