[Feature] Allow deselecting active search filters directly from the results view

I have searched the existing feature requests, both open and closed, to make sure this is not a duplicate request.

• Yes

The feature

When using the search functionality as a replacement for a traditional filter navigation, it is important that active filters (search criteria) can be easily modified and removed.

Currently, once multiple filters are applied, removing a single criterion requires reopening the search dialog. This interrupts the browsing flow and makes iterative refinement of results unnecessarily cumbersome.

Proposed behavior
• Display all active search filters as interactive chips in the results view (as already shown)
• Allow each active filter to be deselected directly (e.g. via an “x” icon or click-to-remove)
• Removing a filter should immediately update the results without reopening the search modal
• The existing “Clear all” behavior should remain unchanged

Motivation
If search is intended to function as a primary filter navigation mechanism, users must be able to quickly adjust individual criteria while browsing results.

This is especially important when:
• combining multiple filters (date, location, camera, tags, people, etc.)
• iteratively narrowing down or broadening results
• working with large result sets where frequent refinement is required

Why this matters
Directly removable filter chips are a well-established UX pattern in faceted search interfaces. Without this interaction, search becomes less fluid and harder to use as a navigation tool, particularly in larger archives.

Summary
Allowing active search filters to be deselected directly from the results view would significantly improve usability and make search a more effective replacement for classic filter navigation.
