Comment:

 Thanks for contributing, @marc4!

 The clear search button is a browser feature, and is only available in
 Webkit and Blink based browsers. We could probably hide it and implement a
 separate clear search button, but I'm not sure that I see a lot of value
 in that.

 I do think that those clear search buttons are badly implemented in the
 browsers, but coming up with a consistent cross-browser solution to remove
 the existing button is a lot of engineering for something that already has
 multiple paths on the user front.

 The search can be cleared using the button, Ctrl + A and delete, or double
 click and delete; adding a custom method seems excessive.
