When you open an article in a new tab (i.e. a background tab), you don't actually "visit" the article yet, so it doesn't get added to your history. With this ticket, are we proposing that articles opened in a background tab should be added to your history explicitly?

Open in a new tab from search opens the article in the foreground in a new tab. The described behavior actually adds the article as an item in your History.

No, I think it’s fine as is.

Hi @schoenbaechler

I tried to reproduce the steps but looks like we have already changed the "Open in new tab" in search result from "open in a background tab without actually going to the article page" to actually open the article in a new tab and go to the page.

Is this ticket still valid in the current release?

Hey @cooltey — yes this is still valid, just tried it out.

This is my reading history:

And these are the search results:

As you can see, the 'Christopher Nolan filmography' article (that I visited, see reading history) is not listed as a search result when searching for 'nolan'. Why?

(the ticket is not about the 'Open' or 'Open in a new tab' behavior)

Thx for investigating!

Is this Task still relevant/open? If so I'd be interested in investigating it.

@Mr_Patoot Notice that this task is "assigned to" someone, meaning that it's being worked on currently.

Oh sorry, didn't see that. Thanks!

Works as expected now, thanks @cooltey and @Mr_Patoot
