Currently when the overview is hidden, any pending search is kept alive, not only at remote search provider level (as per issue #183), but even the shell providers proxies continue to get and process data. This happens even if this is not needed anymore, while the UI reset is performed only next time that the overview is shown (causing some more computation presentation time). In order to stop this to happen, when the overview is hidden, we have to unset the search entry to an empty value as this would make SearchResults to have empty terms list and that would make the proxies cancellable to be triggered (without causing any further search to start). https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/205
