You can't count on it, in short.

Probably. I haven't tried them all. What I was responding to,
however, is your claim:

If they've improved things since then, there's still the matter that
Windows and Mac and I expect KDE and Gnome search boxes reappear
populated with the last performed query, while those / prompts give
you a tabula rasa every time...

All it takes to counter that is to be able to retrieve the previous
query in a few tools. I tried vim and the pager "less". Both of
them keep a history of previous searches one can cycle through,
giving access not just to the immediately-previous search but to
earlier ones as well. That can be useful. I can't be bothered
to do experiments to find out whether typical GUI search dialogs
support that. Maybe they do.
