Priority/Severity:
Low.

Platform:
I was able to reproduce this on a personal cloud instance (under safe mode) and here on Meta. I’m using Chrome Desktop on Windows 11.

Description:
The clear search action is saving an empty entry on the search history. It does not persist after a reload, so it’s a frontend state bug.

Reproducible steps:

  1. Do a search
  2. Hit return key two times to enter the listing page
  3. Open the search bar again, it will have your search keywords already
  4. Click the X button to clear
  5. An empty entry appears in the recent searches list
