Bug Description

Found this function pretty handy on Chromium (Chrome)

Say you've typed a query in the search box but dont find what you're looking for, there's no reason to grab the mouse and start clicking the cross to clear the input— just hit Escape to go back up to the search box, and you can type a new query.

A slightly different patch where now "ESC" just clears the search field when this widget has focus (this is also the behaviour, amarok and banshee have).
Jus, I agree with the way you describe how it's reasonable for "ESC" to function (although, now I like the idea of having a shortcut for just clearing the search instead of multiple backspacing) but it needs more time to implement it that way.
I propose to have this one committed and see in the future what we can do to improve that (and maybe in a different bug as this one was for the tab key which has already been fixed).
