Empty Button In Saved Searches Screen Doesn't Work

Problem: The "Empty" button in the saved searches page doesn't work. You have to delete each individually which can get quite long.

Solution: The “Empty” button only applies to an “empty” search… All of the “buttons” are just pointers to bookmarks on the page so you can quickly locate phrases.

You only see the "Empty" button when you have clicked the search button without entering anything in the search box. Since the "Empty" result set is at the very top of the alphabetical index it doesn't appear to do anything when the button is clicked because it's already there. Probably need to remove the "Empty" button or change the name to Null to avoid confusion.

Now, I wonder why anyone would want to delete all their data? Is there a need for a delete All button?
