Is it possible to listen for the search input events?

[davigiroux]

Hello!

So I want to have a way to track what is being searched in the search bar without interfering with the functionality itself. I basically need to trigger some events based on what is being typed. I tried swizzling the SearchBar component and the Search component from the NavBar, but did not manage to get what is being typed... Is there any way to accomplish that?

I'm assuming you use Algolia DocSearch, which relies on a component built by the Algolia team (<DocSearchModal/>).

The best is to get in touch with them directly to figure out if what you want to achieve and see how you can listen for typing events from their React props API?

That makes sense. I'm actually using easyops-cn/docusaurus-search-local so I'll reach out to them. Thank you!

Yes, it's the best. It's a third-party plugin so only they can give you the ability to listen for such events.
