If you only use tab history for finding that old query you ran a couple of weeks ago but forgot to save, then it's probably safe to upgrade - and you might even appreciate that versioning is included in the search results. However, if you used Tab History numerous times per day, for finding that tab you opened just 5 minutes ago, but now seems lost between 30 pinned and unpinned tabs, then you will still be very frustrated with the UX of SQL History. / comments

It seems to me that the new SQL History window is mostly centered around adding change history to tab history. Sure, change history is nice to have, but I would never trade it with the option of quickly finding that one tab among 20 others, that I recently had open. Maybe I have just been ruined by the tight controls in the old Tab history. But I find myself constantly clicking "Advanced search" -> "queries" - > "the last week", in order to limit the search output and make it somewhat useable. Still, the top search result is usually some old and unrelated tab. I then reach for the arrow keys to quickly glance at the second result, but I have to select the result list first. Another example: After opening the SQL History tab, why do I have to select the search field with the mouse before typing the search string? @ATurner I wish these UX kinks had been fixed before removing Tab History. / comments

Hi @ganners999 Yes, if you upgrade to preview 4 it should start working again. Thanks Owen
I've switched back to SSMS 18. The preview 4 version started throwing DLL errors on attempting to connect. Unable to load DLL 'Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.SNI.x86.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E) (Microsoft.Data.SqlClient)
I got the same error with SSMS 19.4. Fixed it by running a repair install. / comments
