Actually the last selected position is remembered (instead of the last selected
character).

For instance:
1) Open the Special chars dialog
2) Enter "am" as the search term; a lot of results will remain
3) Select the fourth entry in the first row (for me it's capital gamma - using
Liberation Serif)
4) Now delete the "m" from the search term leaving only "a"
5) Notice that the fourth entry in the first row now is different (for me it is
"$"), and it is greyed out
6) Press Tab twice to move focus to the char grid
7) Notice "$" is selected

This means the position is remembered.

In summary, if the character remains visible during a search, it should be
possible to remember that it is selected.

I'm not against this request... but I don't see a strong use case for this
either.
