Current Behavior

When I have ionChange event in . Clicking the clear button, The ionChange event isn't triggered.

Expected Behavior

According to the documentation

The ionChange event is fired when the value has been committed by the user. This can happen when the element loses focus or when the "Enter" key is pressed. ionChange can also fire when clicking the clear or cancel buttons.

Steps to Reproduce

1. use this line of code <ion-searchbar (ionChange)="updateFilter($event)" show-clear-button="always"></ion-searchbar>
2. Type in an input
3. Exit the box or press enter (The ionChange event is fired)
4. Now click the clear button
5. Change event is not fired until i click out of the field

Note: I am using the standalone approach

Thanks for the issue. I am going to close this as this is not a bug in Ionic Framework. As per the documentation, ionChange is only fired once the value has been committed including when the clear button is clicked. The input is still focused even after clicking the clear button, so the value has not been committed yet. As a result, ionChange only fires after you blur the input.

Thanks for the timely response. I guess the last part of the documentation was misleading in this case and i'd suggest it should be revisited.

Thanks

If you have ideas for how the documentation could be improved, I'd be happy to review a PR. The following area of Ionic should be updated: https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-framework/blob/a3cd204f616606ccffc35082655e55fdfb19fe28/core/src/components/searchbar/searchbar.tsx#L177-L184

You'll need to run npm run build so any generated changes can also show up on the docs website.
