[Feature Request] Add clear/cross button to Forum search box for instant text clearing #1528
Description
Description
The search box on the Forums page has no clear/cross (❌)
button to instantly clear the typed text. Users have to
manually select all text and delete it which is poor UX.
Current Behavior:
When a user types in the Forum search box, there is no
clear/cross button to instantly clear the input.
Expected Behavior:
A clear/cross (❌) button should appear inside the search
box when text is typed, allowing users to clear it
instantly with one click.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Go to https://helpopshub.vercel.app/devopsforum
- Click on the search box
- Type any keyword (e.g. "Docker")
- Observe there is no cross/clear button
Suggested Solution:
Add a clear/cross (❌) button inside the search input
that appears when text is typed and clears the input
on click.

Hello @mdazfar2! I spotted this UX gap while testing the Forums page. I would love to work on implementing this feature. Could you please assign this issue to me for GSSoC 2026?

Hi @mdazfar2! I noticed this issue is still unassigned. I can implement the clear/cross button for the Forum search box using a simple state-based approach - the button appears when text is entered and clears the input on click. I'm a GSSoC'26 contributor. Please assign it to me!
