A feature that I used a lot in Eclipse is the Search History, which remembers searches you performed in the past and gives you quick access to them. I cannot seem to replicate this functionality in IntelliJ - it seems that I have to start a new search each time. Does this feature exist, or does anyone know of a plugin that provides such a feature?

Right-click anywhere in the editor and choose Local History | Show History from the context menu. In the dialog that opens, the left-hand pane shows a list of all saved revisions of the current file with timestamps.
From the main menu, select Edit | Find | Find in Files Ctrl+Shift+F . In the search field, type your search string. Alternatively, in the editor, highlight the string you want to find and press Ctrl+Shift+F . IntelliJ IDEA places the highlighted string into the search field.
From the main menu, select File | Invalidate Caches. In the Invalidate Caches dialog, you can select additional actions that the IDE will perform while removing the cache files: Clear file system cache and Local History: remove the virtual file system cache together with the information stored in Local History.
I think what you're looking for is the "Open in new tab" checkbox at the bottom of the "Find in path" dialog. For me by default it was disabled. When you enable it, you will have search results open in separate tabs every time, so accessing historic searches will be much easier.
