TYPO3 Core

Before TYPO3 moved the "Live Search" (primary search form) into a modal window with version 12, search results were rendered in the list view.
TYPO3 still provides an additional search form in the List view with current versions. It allows to search for terms in the selected page or part of the page tree (up to infinite levels).

Until (including) TYPO3 v10, the behavior was as follows:
If an editor opened any record in the search result view, closing the record would bring them back to this exact list of result.

This changed with TYPO3 v11: if an editor opens and closes a record from the result list, TYPO3 will show the parent page of the last opened record . The search results will then also be limited to this part of the page tree.

Steps to reproduce:¶

1. Open the root page in list view
2. Enable the search form via dropdown "View > Show search" on the right side of the top bar.
3. Search for a widely used term, set Search levels to "Infinite levels"
4. Open any record in the search results, close it again

The newer "Live Search" modal window does not provide the same kind of overview for editors. It doesn't allow to edit multiple records at once, for example.

Therefore, the initial scope of search results in list view should be kept after editing the first record.
