Summary	0000395: Back/Forward arrows should retain tracklist positional information / searches / url
Description	Currently, the back/forward arrows allow the user to return to a previous view, however, the view does not appear in a very useful manner because positioning information isn't retained. e.g. if the user was looking at the 200th/1000 tracks, going back to the view would show the first 0000025:0000040 tracks instead of the ~200th one. This isn't what the user typically expects.
