Reactivesearch, Datasearch component: Is there a way to extend the component on SearchIconClick?

Question

I would like to extend the Datasearch component by a function that reacts on the event that the search icon is clicked. In https://github.com/appbaseio/reactivesearch/pull/747/files there is a handler for this, called handleSearchIconClick. However, it seems that this handler can't be overwritten. Is there another way to react in a meaningful way on this event? If yes, are there examples around that help to solve this problem? Thank's in advance!
