Walter, you have not failed me. Nevertheless, I don’t want any Submit buttons. To me, that is a bit retro. I like the “type and hit return” approach.

So I did more research and found I could leverage the browser cache to resolve the Safari problem, as per this page:

> **[WebKit Page Cache II – The unload Event](https://webkit.org/blog/516/webkit-page-cache-ii-the-unload-event/)**

I edited my JavaScript and confirmed it is working in Edge on Win10, IE11 on Win8.1, Safari, Chrome (even Chrome 36 on WinXP), FF (even FF48 on XP), and iOS 10 & iOS8.1 via the iOS Simulator on my Mac.

Try it:

Type “alarm” and hit return. Notice how the search results appear just fine. Then click the browser BACK button. Form gets reset perfectly! (No keywords stuck in the search field.)
