Every time I open Factbook, it opens up to whatever I had searched for in it last. There does not appear to be a way to clear this text to go back to the default state, like you can do with the Search tab (to see the search helps). If I delete what was there in the Topic/Reference box, the results still remain below and clicking on the Go arrow does nothing.
The reason I want to be able to do this is to have a generic Factbook icon on my shortcut bar. I don't want the day that I searched for my own name in Factbook to be memorialized forever every time I bring up Factbook from the shortcut bar in the future.
