By the way. It would be great if the last chosen field could be remembered in the Advanced Search window and the text highlighted just as it is when selecting the advanced search bar. I almost always look for authors, and i have to double tab every single time.
Thanks, once again, for the great job,

Hmmm, are you sure about the number of Tabs.
After a fresh start on 3.44, I have to hit 4 and 5 Tabs to get to the Title and Authors fields respectively. However, after a fresh start on 2.85.1, I have to hit 2 and 3 Tabs to get to the Title and Authors fields respectively.
If I watch where the highlight lands after tabbing, it looks like the Tab Order has been changed, on 2.85.1 it's -
OK->Title/Authors/Series...->Title. And on 3.44 it's -
OK->Cancel->Kind of Match->Title/Authors/Series...->Title.
But the accelerator keys work - e.g. if you're on the 2nd panel, Alt+A will get you to Authors.
The selection values entered into Advanced Search are retained within a session, but they're not retained across sessions - apart from which panel (Advanced, Title/Authors/Series..., Date). However, the Search history does retain the last several search expressions across sessions, including those created by Advanced Search.
