I’m not sure what version this disappeared, but there used to be a button associated with the filter/search that allowed your text to remain when switching context from Pods to Deployments etc. Now the box is cleared every time I switch views. This is very inconvenient as all our resources have the same prefixes and I have to type them over and over

Hi @kbahr, thanks for bringing this up – that’s a great point. From a UX perspective it absolutely makes sense to keep the filter text when switching between resource views, especially when you’re working with similarly named resources. I’ll discuss this with the team and see how we can bring this back. We’ll update this thread once there’s progress!
