what is the navBack URL parameter for?

https://......./apex/Article_Troubleshooting?id=kA4180000000014&navBack=H4sIAAAAAAAAAIuuVipVslLSjy_N1M_Oyy_PSU1JT9UHcrxhHI_83FT74tTEouQM2-CSxLQ07eTEopRiJR2lYqBGFGVAsWygWEFiempIZklOqlJtLADoz0E-YAAAAA&popup=false

Any one knows what that navBack parameter is?  How to decode it to the readable format?  I am almost sure it has the information of going back to the previous page, but not too sure how to use it.  Any help?  Thanks in advance!

Salesforce support was less than useless in assistance with the "back to search results" replication for custom template rendering of articles (which i suspect is something you were working on at the time). they in fact told me, and i quote:

With regard to your concern, we do apologize but we are not familiar on how to replicate the 'Go Back' functionality on a visualforce page.

So i created an idea to get them familiar with the concept. Please feel free to upvote and comment your use cases: https://success.salesforce.com/ideaView?id=0873A000000LrXNQA0
