Search Panel - Previous searches should not persist

I've been digging the recently added search panel feature. Deep and fuzzy search across projects is a step in the right direction.

However I've noticed a behavior which I find annoying, and that is, it always remembers your previous search and persists in the panel every time you open it (provided you haven't closed the project or quit Premiere). This means you could use the search to find a clip, double-click and close the search panel, finish your edits, go to lunch, take some meetings, and come back to the edit 3 hours later. If you were to invoke the search panel again (I'm using cmd+shift+F), that same text you searched for will still be there.

I'm sure this might have some defenders but for the vast majority of software with a search function as well as file systems (finder, spotlight, raycast) and productivity & notetaking systems (notion, obsidian, endless productivity tools) and so on, when you invoke a search it always starts fresh. I find it distracting to have to manually delete the last text searched when I'm in the creative flow.

Thank you!
