Reset Query Filter Options Instead of Defaulting to Last Used
I use query many times a day, and for many reasons - tracking events, gifts, constituents, etc. It is a hassle to search for a query and not find it only to realize I missed a box that was still on an old setting - filtered to the type I used a few hours ago or in a different category. It's just a small thing that seems easy to change.
I don't know why the boxes are easy to miss for me, but when you open the search function in database view, all of the fields are cleared so you are doing a new search each time. I wouldn't expect that I am still working within the old filters as before. I very rarely need to use the same query each time I am in the query function, so having the filters static causes me more clicks.

I spoke to David Springer at bbcon2026 and personally requested this be added. He said others have also asked for the same and sounded like it was something they are considering.
Yes, a reset or clear filters button please.
It is also important for me to be able to search for a query by the date the query was created, as is possible in database view.
I disagree. Having the filters not reset every time, like it's doing now, is great and saves me a lot of time. I can't imagine it otherwise.
What we really need is a clear filters button that also resets the Category to All categories.
Either default to blank each time so that we're starting fresh or give us a clear filters button, please.
This very important. There needs to be a "clear filters" button as well!
