Trigger find() or search method of Geocoder widget friom programmatic enter or return event on Sear_input

I am utilizing a Geocoder widget for my company project and it is being used in our website as an iframe. I want to trigger find() to invoke search_input

The Geocoder search input in teh below html gets populated when I enter an address in the parent html and the Requirement is when I click submit from parent window, or focus outfrom the field in parent window I want to fire search in the autopopulated Geocoder search input.

The Geocoder input doesn't search even if I programmatically click no the search icon using
1. $("div.esriGeocoderSearch.esriGeocoderIcon").click(); doesnt work
2. Nor a programamitc Keydown event on search input ofteh Geocoder works

Is there a away to call the geocoders find() from another method to trigger the search like using something as geocoder.find();

Here is the mapless.js which is being utilized in the html

require([
"esri/map",
"dojo/dom",
"dojo/on",
"esri/tasks/query",
"esri/tasks/QueryTask",
"esri/dijit/Geocoder",
"dijit/form/RadioButton",
"dojo/parser", "dijit/registry",
"dojo/domReady!"
], function (Map, dom, on, Query, QueryTask, Geocoder, RadioButton, parser, registry ) {
parser.parse();

var queryTask = new QueryTask("http://services2.arcgis.com/mJaJSax0KPHoCNB6/ArcGIS/rest/services/DACTracts30/FeatureServer/0");
geocoder = new Geocoder({
//map: map,
autoComplete: true,
arcgisGeocoder: {
placeholder: "Please Enter an Address",
sourceCountry: "USA",
postfix:"CA"
}
}, dojo.byId("search"));
//geocoder.on("select", showResults);
geocoder.on('find-results', showResults);
geocoder.startup();

//geocoder.clear();
//geocoder.destroy();
}
});

And the HTML is as follows:

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1,user-scalable=no">

}

.dijitCheckBoxInput {

}
.dijitCheckBox, .dijitRadio, .dijitCheckBoxInput {
width: 14px;
}
</style>
