Obvious "clear search" button

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

I just did a search under Articles and Categories, and found the article I was looking for. I then wanted to browse for the articles near it, but I couldn't see a way to clear the search. I deleted the search term but there was no obvious way to search again, or to clear the filter in the list.  

How does this feature request address the current situation?

Having an obvious button or link to clear the search would have let me do it straight away.  

What are other uses for this feature request?

None, unless there are other "search" or "filter" sections, in which case a standard "clear" button would make sense across WA.

The Team's Response

Thanks for the suggestion! We're closing it due to lack of interest, but the article manager is actually getting an overhaul that we'll address this.
