Description

There doesn't seem to be a way to remove the marker pin, other than `.clear()` which has the side-effect of focusing the control.

(At least it is possible to clear the search box, using `.setInput('')`)

Research direction

Start by tracing the public `.clear()` and `.setInput('')` entry points and how each affects the marker pin, input, and focus state. Define a way to remove the marker without focusing the control, and verify that clearing the search box still works independently.
