It’s a little unconventional that when you enter a search term in the search field it is persistent until you clear it, even months later. If a user enters a search term it collapses the list of items and then remains that way. Even as an experienced user, I’m often flummoxed coming back to a page in my app to find only one item on a page, until I remember to look at the search bar that I interacted with last time I used the site. Can it be made to clear the search term after the user navigates away from the page? --- _[View the full topic](https://community.glideapps.com/t/clear-search-field-automatically/58404)._
