Steps to reproduce:

It happens every time I change a search condition.

Actual results:

This happens when multiple searches are made with minimal changes being made to the search conditions. At the bottom of the search message box the result of the search is reported. However, when one of the search conditions is changed, the result is not removed; this often leads to confusion, especially if the user is distracted for some time. The result line should be cleared when any of the search conditions is changed.

Expected results:

Once a search condition is changed, the result may or may not be valid so the result should be cleared.

Sparky, in my experience this has improved in recent years.
Does the problem still reproduce in version 128?
