From an outside review of the web UI. The finding is the complaint; the suggestion below is one way out, not a decision.

explore.html renders the search form and then the repository list with no feedback between them. After a search the page shows a shorter list and nothing else: no count, no restatement of the query outside the input, and no way back to the unfiltered view except emptying the field and submitting again. The facet sidebar has the same gap.

The builds page already carries the pattern (internal/web/templates/builds.html:41):

23 builds in 15 runs, clear filters

One option: add the same line to explore — a result count, the active query and facets named, and a Clear action.
