Semantic UI: get current dropdown search input text - search

Question

I'm trying to filter some results I will get from an api using Semantic UI's dropdown search component.
The issue is that I don't know how to get the text I'm typing in the input field
The dropdown search I have:
<div class="ui fluid search selection dropdown" id="user-dropdown">
<input id="user-dropdown-input" name="country" type="hidden">
<i class="dropdown icon"></i>
<div class="default text">Search...</div>
<div class="menu" id="user-dropdown-menu">
<div class="item" data-value="af">
<span class="description">123</span>
<span class="text">User123</span>
</div>
<div class="item" data-value="af">
<span class="description">123</span>
<span class="text">User123</span>
</div>
<div class="item" data-value="af">
<span class="description">123</span>
<span class="text">User123</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
How dropdown is initialized:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.ui.dropdown').dropdown({
clearable: true,
fullTextSearch: true
});
});
What I tried:
$('#user-dropdown').on('keyup', function () {
let input = $('#user-dropdown');
console.log('Val: ' + input.dropdown().val());
// also tried: $('#user-dropdown-input').val()
// $('#user-dropdown-input').html()
// $('#user-dropdown-input').text()
});
Basically what I want is if I type "abc" to print the value "abc" into the console, but I don't know how to get that value.

Answer 1

what worked for me was searching the input used for search that looks like:
<input class="search" autocomplete="off" tabindex="0">
and I added a type to this input
document.getElementsByClassName('search').type = 'text';
and then got the value by class on keyup
$('.search').keyup(function() {
console.log($(this).val());
});
