hi! i use a "default tab" (far left) and a set of locked tabs. when i search, i have the results go to a new tab at the end that is unlocked via these settings :

tldr; checking for a "don't allow navigation when working in a Search results tab (regardless of tab lock status)"
the (not really) problem i run into is sometimes i use my back button, etc. when working in the "Search results" tab and it navigates away from my results (in most cases the parent folder of where i initiated the search from).

is there a setting or way (without locking the tab) to prevent navigation when working inside a "Search results" tab ? if i have to use the "lock tab" for this, i can easily switch back. the reason i am using the unlocked ones is that i use a script to "reset" my tabs and it removes any "Search results" in the process. because i have : i get prompted when my script runs (i don't use tab sets...yet).

maybe my script is wrong and can ignore the prompt ? not sure yet.

Prevent navigation? Why? And why use the back button when you don't want what it does?

hi! lately it's been issues with my hand and sometimes i do accidental/unintentional "clicks" or "moves". so, i will sometimes inadvertently click the back button and the results are gone (because the results tab goes "back" to a regular folder). i also sometimes lose track of where my mouse is and just flat out click when i thought i was in another tab.

just old-age issues i try and work with/around. i'll try locking the results tab and updating my script to not prompt or use tab sets to "restore" my views.

i didn't realize that the results tab (when opened new) came with history (which apparently it does).

Yep, locking the SR tab plus SR caching is the way to go.
