Users often misunderstand that the search query remains until they actively clear it (or reload the page). Perhaps especially when using the search button on the Term page. The summary of active filters (#26) was an attempt to clarify this, but it often goes unnoticed.
One solution may be to let search actions (like the Term page search button) clear any current query. This obstructs the case where the user does want to modify the current search, but it could be mitigated by keeping a search query history (#32) where the user could then go back and modify it properly.
