can't clear previous searches from Maps in iOS 8

Prior to iOS 8 update, there was the ability to clear previous searches in the Map app.

Now there is no visible button to clear entries as before nor swiping an entry to the right or left will not accomplish anything. There is nothing in settings either. Clicking on the magnifying glass to the left of a history entry will not bring up any delete capabilities.

As it is now, the list will apparently just get longer and longer and I might not want a history of location searches left on the phone.

There is still a clear button on the Mac Maps app. Why not on the phone??????
