Gtk.SearchEntry

const Gtk = imports.gi.Gtk;

let search_entry = new Gtk.SearchEntry();
  

Gtk.SearchEntry is a subclass of Gtk.Entry that has been tailored for use as a search entry.

It will show an inactive symbolic "find" icon when the search entry is empty, and a symbolic "clear" icon when there is text. Clicking on the "clear" icon will empty the search entry.

Note that the search/clear icon is shown using a secondary icon, and thus does not work if you are using the secondary icon position for some other purpose.
