You can hit the "back" button in the browser to go back to the list
after clicking on one (this is not obviously communicated to the user
but it does work). I agree in general though that this part of the site
is not great UI wise. Not sure what to do to change it for the better,
but it definitely could use work. I guess one improvement would be a
"back" or "return to search results" kind of button when you click on
something. Yes you can use the browser back button to do this now, but
there is no conveyance in the UI that this is an option. Adding an
explicit button would go a long way on the usability front.

When you search on something in the searchbox on openstreetmap.org that
returns multiple results, the map moves to the first result and when you
hover over the result it displays a marker.
But for all the other results, you need to click to see where it is.
This removes the search results and displays details of the object you
clicked. Suppose this is not what you're looking for, you now have to
enter the search parameters again and nominatim now searches from the
last point the map was centred at. So the search results differ from the
first try. Now you have to remember what results you've looked at so you
don't look at them again.
Is there no way to show the second, third, etc, result on the map
without removing the search results?
