1st: Search by Username field doesn't have a clear, i.e., 'x' function

Input something in the field "Search by Username", and then there's no way of clearing existing input. So there are further problems:

• Refresh that page won't clear that field. Seems it's a browser behavior.
  
• Click "back" from browser in a search result page, if the search had "Search by Username", it can't be cleared.
  

The only way to have a blank "Search by Username" field is to re-enter the search page either by Enter/Go from the address bar or click the search link.

2nd: Search by Username field doesn't allow arbitrary username, which maybe leaves unchecked "match exact username" useless

These two issues might be relating to JavaScript, IMO. A similar search function to the search system start page which does support clear function (like a x in input field) and arbitrary input is user search in member list: https://community.mybb.com/memberlist.php

Ouch, is it something new? Because it was fine in past IIRC

There was a clean "X" function before for sure... I made a PR for that by myself in the past.

I am sorry, you are right! This is a valid report
