Current behavior:
When using the Search filter, performing consecutive searches involves more steps than necessary. To search for a new term after entering an initial one, we currently have two options:
  • Manually delete the existing term, then type the new one, or
  • Click the X icon, which closes the entire Search filter. To continue, we must then click the Filter icon again to reopen the filter before entering a new search term.
This workflow introduces friction, especially when users are trying to search for multiple terms in quick succession.
Suggested improvement:
If there is text in the Search box, clicking the X icon should clear the input field but keep the Search filter open. The filter should only close if the field is already empty when the X is clicked.
This change would streamline the user experience, making it easier and faster to perform multiple searches without repeatedly reopening the filter.
