Can not override safari's default search in safari app extension?












3














I am developing safari app extension in Xcode using swift language to take over default search to my site.



I have updated info.plist file to inject script.js file in every page as using SFSafariContentScript.



I have tried using below code in script.js file to add event to default search box, but its not working(It was working in legacy Safari extension).



safari.application.addEventListener("beforeSearch", getSearchText, true);
function getSearchText(e) {
alert("hi, this is from search box");
}


Does safari app extension have support to adding events to search bar ? Any help on this is appreciated.



Thanks in Advance!
