Clearing the author field in the search does not remove the filter

(#3843) Bug Closed: Fixed feedback-site search

Observed behaviour

I tried searching for something and included a filter by user. When I later removed that filter and clicked Search again, the results were still filtered by author.

Reproduction steps

  1. Go to search (https://feedback.fluxer.com/search)
  2. Type "forums" in the search field and "Jackenmen#6644" in the author field.
  3. Click the "Search" button.
  4. After the results show, clear the author field.
  5. Click the "Search" button again.
  6. See that the results remain filtered by author specified before.
I've also run into the same issue when starting my search flow from user view (which is slightly different in that it filters by author id there from the start without having to lookup the username): https://feedback.fluxer.com/u/249

Status changed from Needs triage to Fixed
Clearing the author box and searching again now removes the author filter.

Works now indeed! author_id field does seem to remain in the URL but that's cosmetic, I guess.
