Deleting Search Items in Search Box

When using the search box, it gets populated with lots of items and I've not found a way to delete the unneeded ones. Is there a way to do this? If not, could it get put on the wish list?

    Thank you for your feedback.

    To be perfectly frank though, chances of this happening are pretty slim. We've got a long list of higher priority items.

    Quick check reveals BaseCamp only keeps the 10 most recent search terms in the drop down list.

    FALAGAR: It has long been a standard windows feature to delete/remove options from drop down menus by simply pressing the [Delete] key while the item is highlighted in the drop down menu.
    I know you have many items on your list, but this should only require a single line of code be added to detect the [Delete] key being pressed while an item in the drop down menu is highlighted.

    ...I've not found a way to delete the unneeded ones. Is there a way to do this?

    The only way I know of is to hand edit (with BC closed) the user.config (XML) file.

    C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\GARMIN_Corp\BaseCamp.exe_Url_bzc2s5n5j2tjm5x31qtfforvybxvrxt1\4.1.1.0\user.config

    <bc.FindOptions_t>
    <setting name="RecentSearches" serializeAs="String">
    <value />
    </setting>
    <setting name="SearchFilters" serializeAs="String">
    <value>&gt;:)&gt;ePoint&gt;:)&gt;eGeocache&gt;:)&gt;eAdventure</value>
    </setting>
    </bc.FindOptions_t>
