    RIP to the Microsoft support forums, then. Although if these get tanked in the search results that will probably be a small net benefit for society given that not a single problem has ever been successfully solved by the Microsoft support forums in the entire history of computing.

        long click on the “back button” will list the history of the tab you’ll be able to select the search history

          Or right-click.

          Unless the site also spams the history to fill that list so that you can’t use it. Yes, I’ve seen that happen.

    Who the fuck added this “feature” anyways. Pages shouldn’t have any control over history in the first place.

      Humans are weird and UX wants the web app to behave how humans expect it to behave. That’s how we got here. There’s a whole host of reasons why manipulating browser history is awful, but here we are.
