Clear field icon inside the search box

Type: Feature request

Description

There is no Clear Field icon present inside the search box.

Use Case

It's very difficult to clear text field on mobile devices, we've to either long or constantly press backspace key to clear text field. It'd be nice if search box contains a Clear Field icon, when text present in the box, which clears the text field in a single click. This feature would be also helpful for desktop users, because they've to also either select all text (by pressing ctrl+a or triple clicking using mouse) then press backspace or long press backspace.
