This is an issue for us as well. It leaves users thinking they've selected something when they haven't selected anything valid.

Mmh, i am not getting the point, it works as expected for me at https://semantic-ui.com/modules/dropdown.html#search-selection

• i type anything which is not in the list and click oustide of the search box -> search entry is removed -> expected behavior
• i do the same, but select something from the list before -> search entry is removed but entry i have selected before stays -> expected behavior
• i type something, which the dropdown partly finds entries for, the first one is automatically preselected in the list but i click outside the search box -> search is removed, but preselected value is selected I guess, you are talking only about the last example here, but i think, this also is expected behavior. Do you expect to have the previous selection being displayed/selected again? I don't feel everybody wants it this way, so the only solution would be to make this behavior optional

not fixed ! dropdown config :

 {
    minCharacters : 3,
    saveRemoteData : false,
    apiSettings : {
        url : 'index.php?query={query}',
        cache : false,
    },
}

when click on input, semantic-ui send a request with empty query to server and server return 10 result and dropdown show this results. then in search again , server return empty results and semantic-ui show previous results !!!!
