* It would be helpful when the advanced search editor window (eg PubMed) would populate itself with the terms from the most recent search.
I am doing advanced searches that I wish to modify on the fly. The cumbersome aspect of this is that I have to re-enter the search terms each time.
* It would be helpful when the search input line would allow me to move through the search term to edit, eg with arrow keys.
I am doing searches with combinations of Boolean links. When I have a mistake in the first term in a long list, I cannot scroll back to change it.

Requests: Changes to Input Lines for Searches
Re: Requests: Changes to Input Lines for Searches
Thank you for your feedback! I agree that the advanced search form and the main search field could be improved. We will look what can be done here a bit later, but can you please give more details about the last sentence. You can send a screenshot to support@referencesontap.com.
Re: Requests: Changes to Input Lines for Searches
For example, consider in an arXiv search that I want to change this line:
nanoparticle film AND Langmuir AND "last 1 year" [dp]
to:
nanoparticle AND "Langmuir film" AND "last 1 year" [dp]
I am stuck trying to edit a line that appears this way [...]angmuir AND "last 1 year" [dp]

Did you try to tap and hold the space bar to enter keyboard trackpad mode to move the cursor around the text.
