Description
When filter field contains text from a previous search and you click on the field again to enter a new search, the text remains there when you type, causing you to add a suffix to it. Is it possible to change this to automatically highlight the field so when you type new search it overwrites the previous searches text completely?

Research direction
Reproduce the behavior in the desktop browser's search filter: click a field containing text from a previous search and type again. Locate the C++ implementation for that filter field, then verify that entering a new search replaces the previous text rather than appending to it.
