It would be beneficial to have a way to clear the filters when there is an issue. We frequently have an issue where users will accidentally put the wrong item into a search parameter.
Currently our solution is to go to the table in question, filter for something, then remove the filter which adds the 'empty_search_variables=1' to the url parameters. We then send the link to the user that is having issues and it clears out the incorrect search variable.
I don't know weather there could be better data validation on the input field side or place a button on this page to clear out the incorrect filters, but we do have to make this change frequently.
Where we have the most issue with this is where we have an auto incrementing key 'ID' field, people will often put a text value into there.
