Compass - Query History

Having to rebuild complex queries from memory is a major pain point that inconveniences many of our users. The Compass team is building a sidebar solution that allows users to visualize and re-run past queries. The queries are displayed in pretty-print format, heightening legibility.

Some things we thought about:
- How do we handle incredibly long and complicated queries?
- How do we want to deliver the UI (e.g. modal or sidebar)?
- How do users recognize the past query that they're looking for? Do they identify the query based on its structure or by parsing through its search results?
- How can we seamlessly incorporate favoriting?
