People searching “Inertia useRemember” want a search box to keep its text when they open a post and press Back. The list itself should still come from Laravel. The [pagination guide](https://laravel-vuejs.space/laravel-vue-pagination) owns the links. This page is the local text.

## The fix

```vue
<script setup lang="ts">
import { useRemember } from "@inertiajs/vue3";

const filters = useRemember({ search: "" });
</script>

<template>
  <input v-model="filters.search" name="search" />
</template>
```

`useRemember` writes the object into the history state for this visit. Back restores it. A full reload does not. If the search must survive a reload, put `search` in the query string and read it from a prop.

## What to avoid

> **Gotcha**
>
> Do not remember a password, a token, or a card number. History state is not a vault, and the back button shows it again. A draft that must survive leaving the page belongs in [Pinia](https://laravel-vuejs.space/pinia-laravel-inertia) only if you accept that a reload still clears it. The server is the place for a draft you cannot lose.
