From the mobile feedback page: "As a user who looks up multiple (often 10 to 15) in a single sitting, I find it cumbersome and time-consuming to have to delete my previous query by manually hitting backspace for its length. Instead, I'd like to see implemented a button I can press which would clear the search field, thus reducing time spent searching and increasing time spent reading articles. As an example, consider the cross button inside the search bar of Google's default mobile page."
One way to do this would be to mimic http://m.aol.com/search/default/home.do?icid=eng_head_search and do a document.getElementById('inputclear').addEventListener("mousedown",clearInput,true);
