How to customize the search, like calling search function only when user typed search?

Hey, can you provide more details on how you're using st_searchbox? the search function should only be called when the user is typing something, e.g.

import streamlit as st

from streamlit_searchbox import st_searchbox


def search(searchterm: str):
    # this will only be called when the user types something
    print(f"searching for {searchterm}")
    return [f"{searchterm}_{i}" for i in range(10)]


result = st_searchbox(search_function=search, key="search_key")

st.write(result)

In case it's related, I am seeing the same as kranthi419. Looking at the sample code above, this works and waits for the user to hit enter ...

result = st_searchbox(search_function=search, key="search_key")

But this executes as soon as the user types ...

result = st_searchbox(search_function=search, key="search_key", default_use_searchterm=True)

My use case needs the user to be able to enter their own search queries, like google.
