The stock Windows SearchBox control doesn't support this. So probably Xamarin has overridden the default control and added the custom button in Windows 10 and not in Windows 8. As Windows 8 doesn't have a bright future it is unlikely that they will ever do that if they haven't by now.

UPDATE: AutoSuggestBox in Windows has a clear button so it could be that Xamarin is using it, but there is no such control in Windows 8.
