Saving and loading the *rg* buffer works for me as the saved file's first line is -*- mode: rg; default-directory: "/path/to/dir/" -*- to enable rg-mode on load. How are you saving the buffer?

Thanks for your answer. I just use C-x C-s for saving the buffer.
embark-export is your friend, I use it all the time!
Thanks!
using embark, you need to set a keybind to embark, then use the ripgrep normally, when the minibuffer returns the results, call the embark via keybind and use embark-export, that is bind to E, then embark will create a buffer with the results from minibuffer
Thanks for your help. Embark looks interesting, although the rg search results are not shown in a mini buffer, but in a normal buffer.
for rg search, are you using (the amazing) consult-ripgrep?
* in my emacs configuration at least
I would use Embark for this:
C-. (embark-act)
follow by
S (embark-collect)
This will convert whatever content you have in the mini-buffer into an ordinary buffer that you can keep, browse and even save.
Not sure that matches your need, but rg.el (https://github.com/dajva/rg.el) has rg-list-searches, which will list your searches in an "Ibuffer" buffer.
Should be available for as long as Emacs session and saveable if needed.
I use consult-ripgrep and consult-repeat to run last search again.
