Description

Currently, users have to delete their search term in the Search bar, then hit the Search button again to go back to the full CSV table. It's not very intuitive, especially for users who may not be very tech savvy. I'd like to see the addition of a Clear Search button, or perhaps after searching, the existing Search button becomes a Clear Search button.

Research direction

Inspect the CSV table search UI and the existing Search bar and button first. Implement a clear action that removes the search term and restores the full CSV table; done means users can return to the unfiltered table without manually deleting the term and searching again.
