 * Hello There,
 * I have installed this plugin in one of my client’s BuddyPress site.
 * After adding the widget to the members directory, the clear button is not displayed
   in the widget form.
 * Even after enabling/Disabling persistent search option the search parameters 
   remains the same.
 * Hence the Clear button is important in this use case.
 * Kindly look into this and let me know if you need any further details.
 * Cheers!!

 * Hi Ratnesh,
 * A search form is displayed by a form template, and while the default template
   does not contain a _Clear_ button, you can easily add one.
 * Open the form template _bps-form-default.php_, locate the line:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       <button type="submit"><?php echo $F->strings['search']; ?></button>
       ```
   
 * and add a line with the _Clear_ button:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       <a href='/members/?bps_form=clear'>Clear</a>
       ```
   
 * Move the modified template to the _buddypress/members_ directory in your theme’s
   root, otherwise it will be overwritten during the next BP Profile Search update.
