updateSearchParameters doesn't update the search query

[IkaterinaI]

We have our own search input because we want our own placeholder. When we try to update the search parameters it doesn't pick up what we pass. It's always a '*'.

automagic.store.updateSearchParameters({ search: searchValue });

How can we update the search query ourselves?

Try:
automagic.store.setInput(input_text)
automagic.store.search();

input_text: text from your inputsearchbox
automagic.store.setInput('asterisk') is default, thats why you see a 'asterisk'
