list with old search terms

SUMMARY
This feature is desired for privacy reasons. Not all searches should stay there forever. Some searches are more sensitive than others.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Kate or KWrite and create a new text file. Add some text and save.
2. Press Ctrl + F to open the "Find" bar.
3. Search for some text in the file.
4. Exit the program and re enter. 
5. Press Ctrl + F to open the "Find" bar.
6. Press the dropdown arrow next to the "Find" bar. Old search terms appear here. There is no obvious way to delete them.

OBSERVED RESULT
There is no obvious way to delete old search terms.

EXPECTED RESULT
There should be an obvious way to delete old search terms.
