Yes, failure to have a "Clear" function for the search box in Contacts make it frustrating to have to select your search term to clear. If you attempt to backspace over what you searched for, excess demand on the server is created when incremental searches execute with every backspace pressed.

Describe the solution you'd like

The search box in Nextcloud needs the common clear widget (button, character with event attached) to clear the search box. Currently, the search box has none, e.g.

nextcloud-contacts-clear

There should be a simple way to clear the entire textbox in a single click. What is normaly seen is the clear button on the right side of the textbox, e.g.

nextcloud-contacts-clear-ann

Describe alternatives you've considered

I've tried backspacing over the text (which causes Nextcloud to incrementally search as each character is removed), and I've mouse selected the whole search term and then hit delete (which is what the clear button would do)

Additional context

No other comments. This is an easy one, just add a clear widget to the contact search text-input box.
