1027166 - [Rocketbar] No way to return to the current Rocketbar search in Task Manager after long/short tapping on home button

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Search, defect)

Description

[Naoki Hirata :nhirata (please use needinfo instead of cc)]

1. launch another app like contacts
2. short tap home to get to the home screen
3. tap in the rocket bar
4. type in "search" without hitting return
5. long tap on home
6. go to contacts app ( to look something up or whatever as a use case )
7. long tap on home

Expected: some way to continue the current search
Actual: you have to short tap and select the search.  This highlights the last search but doesn't show you the search results from the last search

Note: 
1. if there's no apps running and you long tap on home and hit home to cancel the task manager, you still return to the current search in progress

Note: according to the spec, home button (tap or switching apps) should not clear the search field.

The home button does not 'cancel the task manager', it goes home, enter the task manager with messages app opened and it doesnt result to the messages app

Yes, having said that with the messages app, you can tap on the message app in the task manger.

I would think that we wouldn't hide the search app within the task manager so you can return to your search without having to hit home twice and tap on the rocketbar.
