Reset highlighted result to top result when backspacing through search #20612

Your use case

Problem

As noted in some web feedback captured as part of #19706 when typing for something, people might type a word, get to 0 results and then use backspace to try a different search. They then struggle to use their keyboard to go to their preferred result. This is because:

  • When they got 0 results: the browse public rooms became highlighted
  • When they backspaced and entered an amended search term, public rooms was still highlighted 1.

Task

  • Experiment with making backspace reset the highlight to be the first result

Notes

1 This might be part of the reason for #20184
