I do not understand what this means...

A proposed feature needs a specification with sufficient details to code and review. Your proposal "a pull-down history list for Find' is too general." This is typical of proposals, especially for IDLE it seems.

Should there be a list only for Find and not for Find/Replace and Find in Files? Makes no sense. A separate list for each? What if you start with Find and then realize you want to replace? Or find in the current file and realize that you want to find in multiple files. I would want one list so I could transfer search terms. (Another solution would be to link the boxes so one can transfer directly.)

How long is history kept? Forever across sessions, or just for one session? The latter is much easier.
