How do I set filters to reset automatically on new search?

Question

I have a search and some filters on a drupal 7 site. If I search a term, for example "stuff", and there are 30 results, I can click a checkbox filter (let's call it FilterA) on the side and narrow my results down. But now if I type "things" in the search bar and submit it, FilterA is still clicked when the results come up. I need for all the filters to be unchecked when I perform a new search. I've gone through I feel every setting in the view and all the search and filter settings and still nothing. Thank you for any help you can provide.

To fix this I created a new block and inserted this code:

<script>
    //unchecks all checkboxes
    function clearCheckBoxes(){
        var uncheck=document.getElementsByTagName('input');
                    for(var i=0;i<uncheck.length;i++){
                        if(uncheck[i].type=='checkbox'){
                            uncheck[i].checked=false;
                        }
                    }
    }
    //this function makes sure that new searches aren't hindered by filters set for previous searches.
    jQuery(function(){
        if(typeof(Storage) !== "undefined"){
            //retrieve what's in search box and remove whitespace
            var currentsearch = document.getElementById("searchbar").value;
            currentsearch = currentsearch.trim();       
            
            //if search box has a value that differs from the session storage search value then filter checkboxes are unchecked and url is sanitized of categories
            if (currentsearch.length > 0){
                if (sessionStorage.getItem("squery")) {
                    let oldsearch = sessionStorage.getItem("squery");
                    if(currentsearch !== oldsearch){
                        clearCheckBoxes();
                        location.pathname = 'simplepathname';   
                    }
                }
                // set session storage search value equal to current value
                sessionStorage.setItem("squery", currentsearch);
            }
        }
    });
</script>
