When you select the empty Unified Navigation search field, the system displays lists showing your most recent search queries and your most recently viewed search results. Select a Recently Searched query to repeat it, or
select a Recently Viewed search result record to navigate to it.

The Recently Searched and Recently Viewed lists appear below the Unified Navigation search field.

<br />

The Recently Searched list shows the most recent search queries from your personal search history. This list only appears when your search history includes previous search queries.

The Recently Viewed list shows the most recently viewed search results from your personal search history. This list only appears when your search history includes previously viewed search results.
