Search query resets when navigating back from a profile

[ap211unitech]

Description

When a user searches/filters the list of people in Matrix, clicks on a person’s profile, and then navigates back to the people list, the query is reset.

Steps to reproduce

• Open the Matrix people list from any channel.
• Enter a query/search term.
• Click on a person’s profile from the filtered results.
• Navigate back to the people list.

Expected behavior

The previously entered query should be preserved, and the filtered people list should remain visible.

Actual behavior

The query is cleared and the list resets to showing all people.

Impact

Users lose their current search context when navigating back from a profile, making it harder to continue browsing the filtered results.

Suggested fix

Preserve the query/search state when navigating from the people list to a profile and back.
