Let users completely delete their search history (even keywords)

After the latest update, on mobile there is a new and improved search bar, featuring autocomplete based on past searches. It's shared across devices and it's impossible to delete the data, even from settings, which can be pretty annoying for people who don't want to be outed every time they look something up in public.

Sharing music is awesome, especially face to face, so having a better way to set boundaries or prevent embarassing accidents would be appreciated.

Hey folks,

Thanks for coming to the Spotify Idea Exchange and voting to make this happen.

We're happy to announce that now you can delete the search history! 

Thank you for helping us make Spotify better by participating here on the Community and by sharing your ideas.

Cheers!

This implementation is so poor. You need to individually delete searches by swiping after you’ve typed.

Instead, all searches should be deleted with the existing “Clear recent searches” button. 

An option to disable search history in the settings would be nice as well.
