I'm not sure about this one. It's helpful when users are using the quick 
search bar to launch a new search, but it could be frustrating for users 
who are trying to refine their search from that search bar.

It would be nice to have some solid user testing to get an idea of how 
this search bar is being used. I suspect we get a mix of uses.
