How to trigger enter key programmatically in search box of SharePoint 2019 library using jQuery

Question

I have tried below code:

1. Set the value in search text box

jQuery("#inplaceSearchDiv_WPQ2_lsinput").val("med");

2. Trigger Enter key:

var e = jQuery.Event("keypress");
e.which = 13 
e.keyCode = 13
jQuery('#inplaceSearchDiv_WPQ2_lsinput').focus();
jQuery('#inplaceSearchDiv_WPQ2_lsinput').trigger(e);

But enter key is not triggering by above code, please help me on it

Answer 1

Try this:

$('<text-input-selector>').trigger(
    jQuery.Event('keypress', { keyCode: 13 })
);

Replace <text-input-selector> with appropriate jQuery selector for your input field.

If you are not able to get the correct selector then let me know and share the screenshot of textbox element by inspecting it. I will help you with jQuery selector.

Update from Comments:

Check below code. I have tested this and working fine for me:

//Set textbox value
$("input[title^='Search this site']").val(".pdf");

//Trigger Enter event on textbox
var e = jQuery.Event("keypress");
e.which = 13;
e.keyCode = 13;

$("input[title^='Search this site']").trigger(e);
