If you're familiar with jquery, you could get by with something similar to the following:
  
<script>
$j = jQuery.noConflict();

$j(document).ready(function() {
    $j("[id$=cancel]").change(function(){
        $j("[id$=search]").val("");
    }
}
</script>

Otherise, you could write another Apex method called clear that sets your search member variable to an empty string, and then call that via an action function.

Hi Sandrine,

Are you saying you want to clear all the textboxes values in your form?
If yes, then you can use javascript form.reset() method
The reset() method resets the values of all elements in a form

<script>
function cleartext(){
    document.getElementsByClassName('abc')[0].reset();
}
</script>
  <apex:form id="frm" html-class="abc">
      <apex:inputtext />
      <apex:inputtext/>
      <apex:commandbutton value="clear values" onclick="cleartext();return false;"/>
  </apex:form>

Simply we can do it like this.

<apex:form >
<apex:inputtext value="{!InputValueVariable}"/>
<apex:commandButton value="ClearButton" onclick="this.form.reset();return false;" />
</apex:form>
