dolphin search

When doing a file search from Dolphin and using the search input field to
search for example "tag:penguin", dolphin will add that tag filter to the
dropdown menu, and the only way to clear it is to expand that and un-select
that tag, or to quit dolphin and restart it.

If you have hundreds of tags, like I do, then the dropdown menu for tags
doesn't fit on the screen, and you can't clear it.

There should be an easy way to reset the search. Closing just the search
doesn't clear it.

I think the whole tagging system could honestly use a different approach. Maybe
use scrollable dropdown filters, the way digikam does it, and the top one could
be an option to 'clear' or 'reset'?
