Search Functionality Causing Full Page Reload and React Query Cache Invalidation

[jrhoads]

Description

When performing a search in commons, a full page reload occurs, which not only disrupts the user experience but also clears the React Query cache, forcing unnecessary re-fetching of data.

Detailed Problem

• Submitting the search form triggers a full page reload
• Page refresh completely resets React Query cache
• Cached data is discarded, leading to redundant API calls
• Performance and user experience are negatively impacted

Expected Behavior

• Search should be performed client-side
• React Query cache should be preserved
• Results should update dynamically without page reload
• Minimal network requests and optimal data fetching

Reproduction Steps

1. Perform initial data fetch (populates React Query cache)
2. Enter search query
3. Submit search form
