I'm a bit confused why you dont just search for the whole text from the filterText every time a key is pressed. Surely thats what your effectively doing anyway by getting the current text and adding the new characters?
Because the problem at the moment, if I'm understanding correctly, is simply the filterText isnt being erased/reset when you want it to be. Remember you can also use onKeyUp to get the state after the key is pressed and released.
