Summary	0025986: Mantis remembering filter and free word search entries
Description	How do I stop Mantis from remembering previously entered filters / searches. E.G. If I go to "View Issues" and set the filters, add a search term and do a search and then close or go off of the page, the next time I go to "View Issues" the filters and search term is set with the previous settings. How can I set this to automatically clear search terms and reset filters. Thanks

Maybe @cproensa can comment, he knows this stuff better than I do. That being said, clearing the filter is just 1 click away with the [x Reset] button...

By changing the source code, modifying this function in filter_api.php, to alwys return true: `function filter_user_can_use_persistent( $p_user_id = null ) { return !user_is_anonymous( $p_user_id ); }`
