I will try to repro and fix this ASAP. Did you already logged a bug for this?

I did, I delete fogbugz automail so I can’t give you the #, do you need me to log a new one?

Issue can be found at https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/search-providers-menu-gets-reset-after-reopening-the-quick-search-window

Looking at the code it was by design that we removed search provider filters in favor of in-session search provider activation.

That said, we can improve the activation state when toggling search provider in the UI.

So basically toggling the providers in that list will have the same effect as de-activating a provider in the preferences.
