4.x api Search, how to link to html element

ChrisPowell1

I am trying to link 4.x (actually 4.3 api) Search widget to my own custom html element on a panel floating on 3D scene.

I cannot find away to do so.  It was possible in 4.0 beta3 when there was a html element placeholder in the new Search(.., "searchByPlace").  Is it even possible to do so in 4.3?

I do not want to use the default.ui placement as in below sample.

<SPAN class="">var</SPAN> searchWidget = <SPAN class="">new</SPAN> Search({&nbsp;&nbsp; <SPAN class="">view</SPAN>: view });<SPAN class="">// Adds the search widget below other elements in</SPAN><SPAN class="">// the top left corner of the view</SPAN>view.ui.add(searchWidget, {&nbsp;&nbsp; <SPAN class="">position</SPAN>: <SPAN class="">"top-left"</SPAN>,&nbsp;&nbsp; <SPAN class="">index</SPAN>: <SPAN class="">2</SPAN>});

I just want a custom jquery textbox and/or dropdown selector so as user types a place name the dropdown auto populates with ESRI search result candidates (just like the default.ui widget) but on a seperate custom html panel of mine.  How do I do this?
