Advanced Search Field Hiding

Question

I reviewed chapter 7.8 of the following document
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/302d8152-002b-2b10-34bd-9ff3c712dd4b?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
My question is now if I hide the search criteria and then go into the details of an item contained in the search result and then navigate with the blue back button, what should I see?
a) The result list with the search criteria expanded
b) The result list with the search criteria hidden
In my CRM 7.0 system I get result a.
This is for the opportunity search component(BT111S_OPPT), but I would be interested for all components in general. As for BP_HEAD_SEARCH component I'm getting result b.
I would like to figure out the correct behavior so I can correct the components that are broken.
Thank you,
Stephen

Hi Stephen,
I checked this scenario in Opportunities search and in Quotations search.
In Opportunites search when you navigate to the seach view using 'previous' button, controller class method DO_VIEW_INIT_ON_ACTIVATION gets triggered. Here the hidden search criteria is made visible by calling context method typed_context->attr->set_hide_search( abap_false ).
In Quotations search when you navigate back to the search view using 'previous' button, context class method CL_BT115QS__SLSQUOTVIEWSE_CTXT=>if_bsp_wd_history_state~state_restore() restores the current state hence the hidden search criteria is still hidden.
On furthur investigation i found that the condiiton failure in Opportunites search is because of the below check in DO_VIEW_INIT_ON_ACTIVATION method which gets triggered whenever the search view is called,
lr_tcc ?= me->comp_controller.
  IF lr_tcc->typed_context->launcherinfo->get_gorequested( ) EQ abap_true.    ---> condition fails here
    typed_context->attr->set_hide_search( abap_true ).
  ELSE.
    typed_context->attr->set_hide_search( abap_false ).
  ENDIF.
whereas in quotations search this check is implemented in DO_INIT_CONTEXT.
