Switching views looses search results

If I have done a search, DT shows a result list and I switch views, the new view shows all information objects and I have to re-execute the search.

Is there a way to avoid this?

One way is to open a new window in which to switch view (File > New Window).

Still better: Use the full Search window for searches (Tools > Search). It provides features not available from the little search field in views.
