a more obivious way of closing the filter bar

It took me a while to figure out how to close the filter bar (cmd + f).
Maybe a small (x) button in the top right would be helpful – it should clear the filter and close the bar.
Also the input field for the filter term open the spelling corrections when hitting like in #2.
