Any way to make search query in quick search sticky?

I very often find myself searching my library for something in the quick search box, only to discover that the cursor focus is in a collection, rather than the whole library.But when I click on the Library to search its full contents, the search term previously entered disappears and I need to type in my query all over again.Thus, my question: Is there any way to make the query stick when changing collections or to the main library?
