You can use Backspace.
Or if the keyboard has an Escape key, use that.
Do you have a suggestion for a keystroke that could be used to clear the search box?

HS has to read your mind to know when you're done with a search and want to start a new one.  The way it does that is by noticing when you check off (or uncheck) an item in the filtered list.
I just tried on a device with a keyboard with the SIP hidden, and checking off an item causes subsequent text to replace the search box contents rather than append.  I can't reproduce the problem you described.  Can you give a detailed step by step how-to?
