points
In this article, we would like to show you onsearch event example in JavaScript.
Quick solution:
var myElement = document.querySelector('#search-type-element');
myElement.addEventListener('search', function() {
console.log('onsearch event occurred.');
});
or:
<input type="search" onsearch="handleSearch()" value="Example text to search.">
or:
var myElement = document.querySelector('#search-type-element');
myElement.onsearch = function() {
console.log('onsearch event occurred.');
};
Note:
<input>element type has to be defined assearch.

There are three common ways how to use onsearch event:
- with event listener,
- with element attribute,
- with element property.

<script>
var myInput = document.querySelector('#my-input');
myInput.addEventListener('search', function() {
console.log('onsearch event occurred.');
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
