My terminal settings include thousand lines scrolling buffer. And clear and <ctrl>-l actually clear only visible part of of this buffer, i.e. terminal height lines. That is why I use terminal menu Terminal > Reset and clear option.

Just got used to it, but I guess I'll use that more often now

I often use clear in conjunction with another command (e.g., clear;eza --long --header) so I accomplish a clear screen before the output of the subsequent command.
Also, I use xrdp to connect my Mac to my MATE server, and keyboard mappings don't always translate the expected way.

seek is a bash script that recursively searches for directories and files using any substring of names, and reports the results as full paths relative to the current directory. I like it a lot.
#!/bin/bash
#echo "$1"
tree -a -i -f | grep -i --color=always "$1" | less -R
