Hi there!
I'm making a mobile app where a user needs to select from a single item of around 5000 options fetched from a server with pagination. I can pass a search query to the server as well.
It would be amazing if I could access the text that has been entered in to the search in the select so I could pass it with the network request to dynamically update the visible options. Instead of needing to fetch every option or build a custom search page.
Hello @Kevin2!
If you are using a 'search' component, you can access the value inside of it with {{searchbar1.value}} !
Are you looking to access the value from the select component? You can do that with {{select.value}} as well.
Let me know if those do not work for you, I might need a screenshot of the components to better understand how best to assist 
Hey Jack,
The search component is a bit clunky with the select, as the user needs to enter a search term then open the select (which has the slide out to show the options), then, if what they want hasn't been returned, close the slide out and edit the search term.
The slide out for the select has a built-in search bar that appears when there are lots of options. It would be great if we could access the text that has been entered into that search bar so we could pass it to our server to fetch new options for the select to display (and then update those options while the slide out is still visible).
Hi @Kevin2,
Thank you for elaborating! I see the search bar in the select, that is very odd that the value entered is currently not accessible in the component's state
I can make a feature request for that right now, will let you know any updates I hear about it
