After passing search filters as URL parameters, filters don't clear

After passing search filters as URL parameters, filters don't clear was created by

I find that if I use URL parameters to filter the results on a catalog page, if I then revisit the page without the search parameters included in the URL, the results are still filtered based on the same parameters.

Working example from one of the Showcase websites (I guessed the searchfield name):

1. View all results
rcaf.museum/visit/coldwar-museum/virtual-memorial

2. View only results with surname "Abbott"
rcaf.museum/visit/coldwar-museum/virtual...searchfield=lastname

3. Try to view all results again - but shows only results with surname "Abbott"
rcaf.museum/visit/coldwar-museum/virtual-memorial

4. Explicitly clear search parameters - shows all results again
rcaf.museum/visit/coldwar-museum/virtual-memorial?search=

I noticed this behaviour on a website I'm building, so thought I'd check on one of the Showcase websites just to make sure I wasn't going crazy. I'm inclined to think this is a bug.

Does this happen for anyone else, and is there a fix for it?
