             Summary: Please reorder recent searches
                 Key: NETBEANS-28
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-28
             Project: NetBeans
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: platform - Quick Search
    Affects Versions: Next
            Reporter: Christian Lenz


When I do a quick search for "Search", I got the results for example for 
"Search Results (window)". When I select it, the search results window comes 
up. After this I type "New File" and I see the new file dialog, when I select 
the result.

When I hit Ctrl I again to go to quick search, I see the recent searches which 
has this order:

New File
Search Results (Window)

When I click on "Search Results" or search for "Search Results" again, I got 
this result again from the recent list.

What happens afterwards when I go to the quick search again is that the order 
of the recent search results, didn't change. It is still:

New File
Seaerch Results (Window)

So what I expect is this:

Search Results (Window)
New File

So a reordner of items and the really last search result should be the first 
item ever. Same behaviour is in IntelliJ or WebStorm which is very handy, 
because if often use quick search and the same recent search like in my case 
Search Results. Now I have to navigate with the arrow keys 3 times up to get 
the right item, because I had other recent searches before. But now "Search 
Results" should be the very first item, because of the usage of it or the last 
usage of it.

To not make smth default, because other users like the other order, we should 
have an option to change it from alphabetically to "last used" or "often used" 
or whatever.


Regards

Chris
