Getting SearchWidget result to JavaScript variable?

Question

I'm using the following searchWidget and it works fine, I need to know how can I get location details, once I type something and hit enter. Lets I search for New York and hit enter, then search data should be taken into a variable (search value, location details, etc).

  var searchWidget = new Search({
        sources:[{
          countryCode:"LKR",
          placeholder: "Search",
        }],
        view: this.view,
        includeDefaultSources: false,
        container : document.createElement("div")
      });

Answer 1

You have to connect to the search-complete event from the search widget, if you wanna use all the results given by the search; or the select-result, if you wanna use only the selected result.

var searchWidget = new Search({...});

searchWidget.on("select-result", function(event) {
  console.log("The selected search result: ", event);
});

You can find more information about the object returned by the event in the official documentation
