Test case: https://jsfiddle.net/8bqdcrg3/8/, this console.log the location.href continuously.

Bug: What is the current behavior?

When using this searchFunction:

{
  searchFunction: function(helper) {
    var query = helper.state.query;
    // with this code the url is not updated on first letter
    // while the search is being done
    if (query === '') {
	    return;
    }
    helper.search();
  },
}

The urlSync will not be triggered for the first typed letter, but only at the second one.

Bug: What is the expected behavior?

urlSync must be triggered for the first letter

Bug: What browsers are impacted? Which versions?

all

If it’s different then we should update the URL, otherwise we keep the same.

That should work indeed!
