[Search Sessions] Cancel search session dialog is confusing for a completed, errored or expired session

Noticed this small thing that confused me. I guess “cancel” for the completed session doesn’t make sense and should be “remove” or “delete” instead?

I think the same applies for the session in the "error" or "expired" state

@mdefazio, @lizozom, @tsullivan, wdyt?

@Dosant , yes, I agree. 'Delete' kind of implies that I can no longer do anything with it. But I'm able to reload it if I choose, correct? Maybe that's thinking too far into it, so I'm curious to see what others think. Maybe 'Archive'?

@mdefazio, when you click "cancel" on that screen above search session disappears from the list, so you can't anymore use "reload". It seems like under the hood it is actually deleted (I am not sure).

Not sure if this is intentional or a bug.

@Dosant this needs to be addressed by one of @lukasolson PRs.
Canceled search sessions will still appear on the list and you will be able to reload them.

[Dosant]

@lizozom, thanks, that explains then.
Is there a way to remove/delete a session from that screen? In case I am no longer interested and don't want that list to get longer and longer? Are expired sessions disappear from that list with time?

[lizozom]

@Dosant not at the first MVP phase.
Things will just stay and get stale, as everything is sorted by creation time.
But this is definitely the plan for future versions.

[lizozom]

@gchaps maybe you can review the text and buttons on this dialog?

[lizozom]

After deliberating with @Dosant, we decided the action to be deleting the search sessions rather than canceling them.
This will lead to simpler implementation and it's not a critical behavior.

Discussed with @gchaps and here is copy for the delete modal:
