I'm using SearchForm in my notebook https://observablehq.com/@pac02/explore-gender-diversity-in-a-single-wikipedia-article. It's great but I would find it useful to enter a default value in the search form such as the value parameter in Inputs.text(). Do you think it would be possible ?

Hi @PAC, please allow me some time to review your request.

No problem. I've found a solution. If there is no input in the search form, I put a default value. See here : https://observablehq.com/@pac02/explore-gender-diversity-in-a-single-wikipedia-article#article2

So I combine the suggestion for SearchForm with the possibility of having a default value.

Ok, I've just added the option `value` for the initial value. A suggestion for your notebook is on its way! Hope it helps.

I would like to do the same with the Wikidata search engine but it's unclear to me how to adapt Search form to Wikidata search
WBK = import("https://cdn.skypack.dev/wikibase-sdk@7.14.2?min")
wbk = WBK.default({
  instance: "https://www.wikidata.org",
  sparqlEndpoint: "https://query.wikidata.org/sparql"
})
viewof entity = SearchForm({
  placeholder: "Type to search...",
  description: "Choose a Wikidata item",
  suggestion: async (text) => {
    const url = wbk.searchEntities({ search: "Ingmar Bergman" });
    const res = await fetch(url)
      .then((d) => d.json())
      .then((d) => d.search);
    return res[0];
  }
})

Do you have any clue?
