Clear input

[frankdre]

How to clear the content of the input tag?

var dict = this.index.getComponentDict();
var methods = this.index.getComponentMethods();
// do this:
methods.reset();
// or do that:
dict.set('searchDefinition',"");

Both lines have the expected effect on components like IfInputEmpty. However, although IfInputEmpty= true, there is still something visible in the input tag itself.
Currently I'm adding this on top:
$("#searchInput").val("")
and adding the id searchInput with inputAttributes.
Am I doing something wrong or is that the way to go?

this.index.getComponetMethods().search('')

Does that work?
