The CFC forum is haunted, the sequel - is it possible for me to type a word in to the search box and for the results to be listed without the search box closing first, or for me to have even clicked the 'search' button and made the page refresh? I could have sworn this happened (I was already on another search, and I remember feeling surprise right before I pressed the button, because the word highlighted in the hits below was the one I was currently searching for).
Probably there's no answer to this (there can be timing faults in memory formation), but then why did I feel surprised?
EDIT: I'm on a phone, btw.
EDIT2: I arrived at the page by hitting the back button, so it's conceivable that I hit it twice and went to a previous search (I'd been searching both keywords for some time). But after this happened, I hit it again to see if it had been real and it was the other search. So I don't think it's a tenable explanation.
EDIT3: It perhaps possible that it was just *displaying* the wrong webpage. Samsung Browser has done this before, sometimes briefly displaying a page that I've been on in the past before reverting to the correct one (and I was on it for only a few seconds). But it seems unlikely; it was usually accompanied by freezes or crashes and I probably shouldn't have been able to carry out a search. It didn't feel like it to me.
EDIT4: I have an idea. See, it's an interesting (and annoying, lazy) quirk of Samsung Internet's browsing history that (A) if you go to the same page you're already on (whether by refresh or another means) it will not show as two entries but one and (B) if you press the back key to return to any previous page, no matter how far back, that visit gets deleted from your history and you are only shown your most recent visit at the top.
I must have really been on that page already. I entered in the search term, going to the same page... Then out of curiosity I pressed the back button and accidentally did it twice (I make that mistake a lot). This took me to a previous search for the other keyword, and the history erased all evidence of what had happened.
But it doesn't fit why I was confused. I must have been expecting not being on that page. So maybe I originally did keyword #1, then keyword #2, then went into search result to read, then did an accidental double back jump to find myself at the original search for keyword #1 and absentmindedly typed it in before noticing that I was already at that page already? That doesn't seem likely, I think I must have jumped back and saw the keyword #2 search with my own eyes (memory is a bit hazy though), and so for this to be true that didn't happen it all and I just got confused from looking at the history. So perhaps the first idea is correct and I just lost track of which one I had most recently searched.
These solutions doesn't feel very satisfying, but they're the only coherent story I've been able to think of until now.
