I have looked into adding a history (like the browser recently typed queries in the url bar), but there is no standard system in place to do it. Apparently the browser team wrote a custom UI widget, and it is not something I would/could do. If at a later point they add a widget like that to the Hildon framework, I'd do it, but right now it doesn't look very likely.
But what comes up when that arrow button is pressed is a little harder. From what I can tell, it's a GTK popup window with a HildonTouchSelector as its container. I did promise conny that I'd work on making a HildonFindToolbar that uses HeArrowedEntry + whatever the browser does for that window. Maybe it's time to get off my *** and actually do it...

Please let me know if you come up with anything cool (and easily translatable to python!
). I would very much appreciate it, as history support has been the last major "I-want-to-do-this-but-don't know-how" entry in my todo list for TouchSearch.

I understand. This is a common problem with software development. Does a developer give the user free reign to do anything and possibly cause end-user confusion/unintended use, or do they put reasonable limits in place?

Great widget! Thx, but why aren't we allowed to edit the Google search machine?

Google is this way because it is the default search engine and is there when TouchSearch runs into problems. For example, any of the below would cause TouchSearch to automatically load Google:
1. Deletion of every other search engine
2. Default install state
3. Corrupted settings file
4. "Stale" settings file (program requires a newer version
5. Error in loading any of the other search engines including user-defined ones

Sometimes it can be a fine line between satisfying reasonable usage scenarios and acting like the "all controlling" developer.
