Recent tab should contain fixed number of recent blocks(maybe 10?).

Currently recent tab contains all the blocks that have been opened and the list keeps on growing

@Tanzeel098 this tab has been renamed from “Recent” to “History” to better reflect the purpose of this tab.

On the dashboard there is a second place to search (the first being the search bar at the top of the screen) to filter the items in the Favorites, History, Sets and Bin.
