Selecting text in the search query field when clicking or pressing shortcut would increase the speed of doing consecutive searches. Search in email already works this way. Ctrl+f Reproducible: Always
could you explain more ? alt+q will open search dialog ? alt+q will copy select text in quicksearch line ?
Sorry for being unclear. I'm suggesting that upon focus in the search field: the existing text in the field is selected such that any typing will start a new text instead of having to hold down backspace. Scenario: I'm looking for a mail about a meeting and only a few people could have sent it. First I search after Nina, then after Ole and then after David. Not having to press backspace 4 times to clear Nina from the first search query makes it faster and more focused to search for Ole. Instead I just type Ole
