Semantic-ui: Search : Appending parameter to search query before making ajax call

[arj-196]

In the Search Module I would like to know if it is possible to add parameters to the search query before making the ajax call.

For example, I have right now the url is given like this :

  apiSettings: {
      url: '/dashboard/verbatims/autocomplete/tag?q={query}'
  },

but the problem is I need to add another paramter "topic" to that url, but I cannot hardcode it because the topic parameter might change, so I need to append the currently set value before making the search.

Is it possible to have a "beforeQuery" hook ?

For example:

searchObj.search({
    apiSettings: {
        url: '/dashboard/verbatims/autocomplete/tag?q={query}',
        beforeQuery: function(queryobj){
            // adding topic parameter to query object 
            queryobj.topic = getCurrentTopic()
            // then continuing the make the ajax call 
            return queryobj
        }
    },

Ok understood. I was going to post of StackOverflow, but I thought it would be more relevant if I ask the question to the source.
