How to override the Search bar functionality?

Retired Boards Appdev Custom Storefronts

Is there any updates to this? I’ve looked into how to override the StoreFront search but it appears its not possible. The closest I got was the predictive-search where I thought I could just change the url here:

fetch(${**routes.predictive_search_url**}?q=${encodeURIComponent(searchTerm)}&section_id=predictive-search, {
signal: this.abortController.signal,
})

But the response here is HTML .. I was hoping i could intercept the JSON payload instead so that it would work with any theme instead of theme specific changes. I don’t want to have to create my own search blocks, just be able to intercept the storefront search call and return my own payload to the site. Is this possible?
