datepicker-change into .clear doesn't work

[Martibis]

At one point the following code is called:

$("#fromDate").dateRangePicker().bind('datepicker-change', function (event, obj) {
        window.clearTimeout($(this).data("timeout"));
        $(this).data("timeout", setTimeout(function () {
            // Do your thing here
            $("#postName").val('');
            searchAll();
        }, 800));
    });

Later I have a button to clear:

$("#clearSearch").click(function () {
        $('#fromDate').data('dateRangePicker').clear();
    });

The clear will not fire.

If I remove the bind, the clear works perfectly. Any help would be hugely appreciated.

EDIT: To be more complete let me send you the setup of the daterangepicker (may have to do something with always open)

$("#fromDate").dateRangePicker({
        inline: true,
        container: '#dateRangeDiv',
        alwaysOpen: true,
        language: 'en',
        showShortcuts: true,
        customShortcuts: [
            {
                name: 'week',
                dates: function () {
                    var start = moment(new Date()).toDate();
                    var end = moment(new Date()).subtract(1, 'weeks').toDate();
                    return [start, end];
                }
            },
            {
                name: 'month',
                dates: function () {
                    var start = moment(new Date()).toDate();
                    var end = moment(new Date()).subtract(1, 'months').toDate();
                    return [start, end];
                }
            },
            {
                name: 'year',
                dates: function () {
                    var start = moment(new Date()).toDate();
                    var end = moment(new Date()).subtract(1, 'years').toDate();
                    return [start, end];
                }
            },
            {
                name: 'three years',
                dates: function () {
                    var start = moment(new Date()).toDate();
                    var end = moment(new Date()).subtract(3, 'years').toDate();
                    return [start, end];
                }
            }
        ],
        customTopBar: 'Date range',
        monthSelect: true,
        yearSelect: true
    });

As always, a "working" use case helps greatly in understanding the problem and try to figure out what can be improved, for example using: https://jsfiddle.net
