Description
This PR resolves the critical performance issue where the Global Search component (
SearchModal.tsx) was triggering extensiveuseMemofiltering and potential state updates on every single keystroke.By introducing a custom
useDebouncehook, we throttle these heavy computations, ensuring they only execute after a brief pause in typing, significantly improving rendering performance on lower-end devices.Related Issues
