Back button in Community search is broken

When you search for a topic in the community, you find a bunch of files.

All is good. Say you click on one to explore it. Here’s the problem: once you’re there, you’re stuck. There’s no way to go back to your original search and see all the results and maybe explore diferent files. Clicking the arrows at the top left gets you back to a new search.

I find it shocking that no one at figma has thought about this specific flow.

    The issue is back in a different form: now when you search plugins and open one and go back, it throws you back to the files search. Or even if you enter a different search.

    Everyone experiencing this, please report the issue to Figma support team via the bug report form.

    Yeah the back button in the community section, once you click into an item and try to go back, doesn’t seem to work.

    Hey @Jake_Rosanno, thank you for reaching out! I was not able to experience this issue on my end.

    As our first troubleshooting step, can we try clearing the desktop app cache and see if that helps? Please follow these steps: Clear desktop app cache.
    Can you try Force-quit the Figma desktop app, then restart it. Also can you confirm if your desktop app is running on:
    macOS: macOS 11 or later
    Windows: Windows 10 or later in a 64-bit environment

    Let me know if that resolves the issue. Happy to look into this further.
