`ctrl-F` to start the search is obviously necessary, but the clear operator, `alt-F` requires some of explanation. First, it maps nicely to the paradigm of "key to set, alt-key to clear," which makes it unobtrusive. Second, it can be a quicker way to clear the search than moving the mouse to the top. Finally, in the future, it could a reset the panels to their expansion before the search started. Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D8857
