[searchBox]: queryHook not called on initial search

See original GitHub issue

Currently the queryHook parameter to the searchBox widget is not called on the initial search (the one we usually refer to the “empty query”).

This seems broken because it is correctly fired if I start typing something then delete everything (in essence getting back to the “empty query”).

I’m not sure if this is a bug or if it is by design, tough.

beforeSearch could be understood as being an event-like hook: not actually expressing we are replacing the helper.search function.

onKeyPress is kind of the same, does it says it’s replacing the default query?

Naming is hard!

I think you summarized this well. No need to change our events or transformData-like methods. And this is not a big issue, we just have trouble remembering the option names

The naming issue might only come from:

queryHook is called on every keypress, with the actual query and the helper as parameters
searchFunction is called just before a search is made, with only the helper as parameter

Maybe replacing them with:

onQueryChangedHook, in the searchbox widget
beforeSearchHook more globally

Just throwing ideas here. WDYT?
