Setting value of searchInput or clear input field without clear icon #20

How can I manually set the value of the searchInput field with inputSearchString? I have a placeholder value and onSelect event handler but want to clear input field when my onChange handler for my dropdown component is fired. It is not letting me do that with inputSearchString. I essentially want to be able to clear the input field without pressing the clear icon
