GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 682249
Closing the search bar in New and Recent, doesn't discard search

When you close the search bar by pressing Esc, or by clicking the search toolbar button, the search stays active, but the search bar disappears. You have to open the search again and clear it, to get all your documents back.

Thanks for the report, I now fixed this in git master.
