Edits to your search will be saved as “work in progress”. That when you visit a site and come back, your inserts and deletes will still be there.

To clear the work in progress, submit the search again (either by clicking submit query or pressing enter with the same search term in the search box)

The work in progress will only be saved for the session. Use :w to save your search permanently.
