I am encrypting the search query before sending user to results page , where user is not able to see the query in address bar(only encrypted field is visible), but before sending to Elasticsearch I decrypt the field and then send.  
Also for displaying I am decrypting the field and everything works fine, but the issue comes when I again open search box, I get encrypted verison only , I know this is expected behavior as url is linked to search box by default, but can we somehow, decrypt the query there also.

For sending decrypted version to Elasticsearch I am using, onSearch function in search-driver, but not able to find anything related to search box in documentation.  
Note I have already tried value field in searchbox input.
