How to reset checkbox values?

I am using Splunk 6.2.1

I have a checkbox inside a panel

        <panel>
          <input type="checkbox" token="cbstring" searchWhenChanged="true">
            <label></label>
            <choice value="max">Max</choice>
            <choice value="min">Min</choice>
          </input>
    ...
       </panel>    

The problem is that once a checkbox is selected, the searchstring gets populated.
Unchecking does NOT reset the values.
In other words, if i select a checkbox, search works correctly. But, when the same checkbox is un-checked, the token cbstring does not get re-populated - instead the old values persists.

How to reset the token associated with the checkbox?

Hm. It looks like you want a radio button, not two checkboxes. Or are the two supposed to be selected at the same time?

Otherwise, to start an action on uncheck of a checkbox, you can listen to click on it and call your search based on the condition that !$(this).is(':checked'). But I wonder how your search looks like if the user selects neither min nor max - if it uses count, you should add that as the third option (and, as I said, use radio buttons).

I have many other options - and i want checkbox - meaning more than one option can be selected.
I am having trouble with resetting the token - the old values persist.

That's strange. Are you only using a search manager, or also a post process manager as well? I just tried, and in its simplest form unchecking a checkbox immediately triggers an update to the search that uses the token. How are you using your token in the search?
