Hi @Kurt_M, thanks, good start! I agree with @alphonseg, default should be newest first. My additional comments are as follow: 1. When searching, the default is to expand the Advanced Search panel. You may be able to save some vertical space by using the same dropdown approach for Object type and Search period. 2. If my earlier selection of Object type was "queries", then my preference is that it should default to that choice the next time I search. Same for Search period, and Sort by selections. If you journey-map clicks to get the search results organized, you'll see what I mean. 3. In the search result, it would be great to indicate the State, i.e., if the query is still opened in an existing tab (or closed), perhaps under the SQL Server name or next to the query name. All in all, good improvements. Thanks again. Looking forward to the next version! / comments

Hi @Jon_Kirkwood, Thanks for the tip. I am now using 10.13.2 with SSMS v18.11.1. Super appreciative of this info! I shall wait (which I typically do, but the combination of SSMS and SQL Prompt bugging me to update, I caved and ended up here). I shall check back for updates from time to time. While I appreciate the query versions option in SQL History, Tab History's features are too valuable to lose. For example, it automatically sorts in reverse. I don't believe I saw the latest 10.13 sort in the same manner. When hovering over in Tab History, I also get to see if my query tab has been closed or still open. I can also pick to search closed, open, or all. These are the few features I rely heavily on. What I like about SQL History is something I wished for in Tab History. See, while in Tab History hovering over an item to see what's in the query could get quirky at times, such as having to shake my mouse pointer when hovering over an item to make it show, I wished I could single-click on the item to show its content (like in SQL History), and then use my keyboard up/down arrows to move up and down respectively (just like in SQL History). If I want to restore or go to the tab, I would hit return or double-click on my mouse (again, just like in SQL History). I understand the need to make things better, and I shall now await for a better SQL History infusing what I use a lot of in Tab History. Thank you! Kevin / comments

Hi @Jon_Kirkwood, Thanks for the quick response. I installed 10.13.2.31952. I did not see Tab History in my toolbar on both SSMS v18 and v19, just SQL History. On SSMS v19, I got a bunch of errors "Could not load file or assembly 'SQLEditors, Version=16.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.". Intellisense also does not work. On SSMS v18, after I restored back to 10.12.6.30951, which by the way, I occasionally get the same error as above but at least I get back Tab History *and* intellisense working. / comments

I just switched back to 10.12. However, launching it with SSMS v19 appears to run into issues: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.Tools.SqlEditor.dll'. I now have to switch back to using SSMS v18. Sigh... Red-Gate, please bring back the old Tab History in 10.13. Thank you. / comments

I'm using SQL Prompt 10.13.4 and I share the views of many here. SQL History is largely unusable. It's kludgy and results is often not what I expect. I much prefer the old format. It was fast and the UI was intuitive. The only quirk with the previous version was the pop-up that could go away if you accidentally clicked away, but other than that, it was very easy to use. Is there a way to go back to the previous version? Update: I misspoke. I meant it is now missing Tab History, where I use frequently. / comments

Hi @Tianjiao_Li I still have not received your email so I can send you the log file. Please email me so I can send you the log. Thanks, Kevin / comments

Hi @Tianjiao_Li Yes, please email me and I will reply with my logging. I just captured one and I can tell you that I see the SQLSearch 3 Session started. I was sitting here watching and my SSMS locked up for about 14 minutes. The log file did not record anything during the time it was locked up, nor did it log completion of populating the search database dropdown. / comments
