I agree, it would be better to cancel the search when the window
is closed. Unfortunately the core doesn't know when the front
end closes the window at the moment, so it's not straightforward
to change that just yet.

and clearing the old search string is a pain!

Once the search field has focus, either ESC or CTRL+U should clear it.
