I've been testing full-text search and find it excellent. However, when using a filter (e.g. Place) I'm unable to reset it so all subsequent searches have the same filter. Has anyone experienced this?

    @SimonCarr We are so sorry but at this moment, there is no way to reset your filters, and you will need to exit and start a new search. But, you may be seeing some enhancements to the search and filtering functionality soon. Thank you for your feedback

    @SimonCarr Are you performing your subsequent search from the Landing Page? My experience has been that if you perform your follow on search from the Search side panel [that should be displayed on your Filtered Results page] the filters remain 'active' and are applied to the modified search. You've got me curious now….

    @SimonCarr There is a dedicated group for Full Text Search Feedback.

    Thank you all very much. Leaving the page and re-entering didn't help - neither did logging out and in again.

    A shame when the function is otherwise so good.

    @SimonCarr Thought I'd follow-up to clarify what I mentioned earlier about using the Search Side Panel. Here's a search results list showing side panel

    If I enter different keyword phrase in the side panel without making any changes…

    This is the 'new' search results page which is for the new phrase. Note it still has the two filters I used in the original search

    Sounds like you may be doing something a little different?
