Show 'clear search' in settings-UI even when matched settings are found #66141

Problem

Currently when one types a term in the search-bar of the settings-UI and no matching settings are found then a Clear Search option appears which deletes the term in the search-bar if clicked. However, this option does not appear when matching settings are found. If one wants now to remove the term from the search-bar one has to manually select the typed term and press the delete-button.

Solution

It would be more convenient if there always would be a 'Delete Search'-Button. This could be a little X symbol on the right of the search-bar.

Bonus

Currently when the Clear Search option is clicked the search-term is deleted but the search-bar loses focus. It would be more convenient if the search-bar would get the focus such that one could immediately start typing the new search-term.
