Shortcut to clear tag selection or an option to do it automatically on search

my aim: I want to do a search over all notes

my problem: the feature to just start typing to search is often not working because I notice that a previous tag selection is still active. So CintaNotes only searches within the current tags.
Why not hitting the escape button befor searching? >> You never know how often you have to hit the ESC button! (Well, you could figure it out - but that would slow you down.) I often found myself minimizing CintaNotes although I wanted to do a search.

The problem with ESC is that it depends on whether or not the search field contains something AND/OR some tags had been selected.
I have to hit ESC 2 times whenever tag selection AND search field are in use.
I have to hit ESC 1 time when only tag selection OR search field are in use.
Otherwise I may not hit ESC or CintaNotes gets minimized.

___________
Suggestion 1:
ESC button clears search field AND tag selection at once. (This could be an option.)
___________
Suggestion 2:
Option to let CTRL+F not only clear (select) the search field but also clear a previous tag selection.
___________
Suggestion 3:
New shortcut for one of the above mentioned actions.
