[Problem/Bug]: Find::Stop or Start with a FindTerm doesn't clear previous search history #5368

What happened?

When the Find popup is closed by the user or via Find::Stop, and I open a new Find popup, specifying FindOptions.FindTerm, the previous search history is preserved such that I can Ctrl+Z back to it.

This is an issue for my app, because that can lead to a user seeing a previous user's searches which may contain patient info.

The comment from the same issue that was closed suggests this shouldn't be a problem when passing in a new FindTerm
