If the search bar on the
  • users
  • titles
  • authors
  • groups
pages (and most likely other pages using the same component I might've missed) is not empty and not focused, a clear button (❎) is shown that doesn't do anything when clicked, other than focusing the search bar.
Once focused, the clear button gets replaced by a search button (➡️), which is a bit useless since it'll search once you stop typing anyway.

You can see this yourself if you navigate to https://mangadex.org/<page>?q=Ab (where page is any of those listed above).

Tested this on chrome on Android.
With the exception of the titles page (mobile only), the issue seems to occur on both mobile and desktop.

What browser and other technical stuff are you using? I can't reproduce it on my end (the X button removes the text and the -> sends me to Advanced Search). Moreover, that link returns me the following (the failed image is MangaDex cat):
Cat napping on a pile of books

Error 404

Page not found: /%3Cpage%3E?q=Ab

I edited my post, chrome on Android (mobile only issue?) when it comes to my environment.
You're meant to replace "<page>" with any of "users", "titles", ...
I thought it was clear it's meant to be a placeholder

I was trying the wrong search bar, it's true that either in Community -> Groups or Users the search bar automatically searches the items you request after a slow delay and either clicking on Enter or the Arrow Symbol refreshes the search, but if you have not selected the box (basically if you type you don't right anything in the box) the X Symbol shows but it doesn't clear the text, it simply selects the box but without letting you interact with the text. I was using the Windows 10 (PC) with Firefox last version private window while logged in.
