Don't clear the search box when running: "Clear Filters".

bob2021

In accounts, I often use filtering, e.g., set a date range; maybe narrow down by account and/or status; and enter a search term. I also often want to clear the filters: dates, accounts, and status (often leftover from previous filtering)—but usually want to keep the search criteria (if not, I can clear it manually). I'd prefer that clicking: "Clear Filters" not clear the search criteria. I realize others may prefer to have the search criteria cleared along with dates/accounts/status, but if the majority would like the search box to not be cleared, the behavior ought to be changed. (And yes, the drop downs can be manually reset without clearing the search box, but that's not my point.)

If the behavior remains as it is currently, the search bar should be moved from the 'bar' it is on (along with the tabs: Transactions, Spending, Income) to the 'bar' that holds clearly defined filters (dates/accounts/status). Placing it after the status drop-down makes the most sense in terms of grouping*, because the search bar is treated as a filter when it comes to clearing filters—but the UI makes it appear to be a separate animal from the three filters I mentioned.

* It's likely the search bar was placed prominently in the upper right since people often look for search first, and as such, placing it after the "Clear Filters" button would be OK with me, even though it logically makes more sense to place it adjacent to the three filter drop downs. At least it would be on the 'bar' where users make (other) choices for filtering.
