How to empty the search pane box upon pressing enter?

Question

Right now, I have search with suggestion enabled.  How do I make it so as soon as the user presses enter the search textbox will empty? 

I'm using the search to enter stuff (I'm a control freak) and I don't want to keep having to press the backspace button to get rid of the text in there to enter the next thing.

Bump.

Hi,huge_newbie

Do you create your project in Windows 8.1? In Windows 8.1, SearchBox is a new Control. You can set the SearchBox QueryText property to string.empty when the SearchBox.QuerySubmitted event occur.

Code like this below:

private void SearchBox1_QuerySubmitted(object sender, SearchBoxQuerySubmittedEventArgs e) 
        { 
            Var searchbox=sender as SearchBox;
            Searchbox.QueryText=string.empty;
        } 

Best Wishes!

Thank you for your answer.  For now, I'm not building my apps in 8.1 simply because I ain't got no 8.1.  I will add this code to my apps once 8.1 comes out.
