Search items being dropped?

So far, this script has worked great. The only problem I'm having is that when I refresh or close the Hit Monitor page with a search item turned off, it is dropped from the list and I have to re-add it or import a backup. I'm on Firefox, last version.

EDIT: It's not happening now that I'm attempting to recreate it, but it's happened in the past (as in just before I wrote this, and a few times before that). So I'm not sure why or how terms are being dropped.

EDIT2: Firefox crashed, and upon reload Hit Monitor dropped one of my searches that was off before the crash.

The issue with losing searches if a page is reloaded should be fixed now. The reason that you couldn't re create it is because it would only happen if a search was added while another search was paused. When a new search is added, the array of searches gets saved into storage, so if something is paused at that time it would be left out.

Now when you add a new search term, any paused searches will be unpaused first so that they will be saved also. Not a perfect fix, but it will do for now and prevent ever losing any searches.
