At the time of writing, and as previously mentioned by @Bosh, html5mode must be true in order to be able to set $location.search() and have it be reflected back into the window’s visual URL.

See https://github.com/angular/angular.js/issues/1521 for more info.

But if html5mode is true you can easily clear the URL’s query string with:

$location.search('');

or

$location.search({});

This will also alter the window’s visual URL.

(Tested in AngularJS version 1.3.0-rc.1 with html5Mode(true).)
