Fix Search Error in App

I need help troubleshooting and resolving an issue in my app’s search feature. Right now an error is triggered immediately after a user enters a keyword—before they even press the search button or see any results.

Here’s what I expect:
• Diagnose the root cause of the error that fires on keyword entry.
• Implement a clean, well-commented fix without breaking existing functionality.
• Test and confirm that searches run smoothly and deliver accurate results across typical keywords as well as edge cases.
• Provide a concise summary of the changes so I can understand what was adjusted and why.

The codebase is a standard mobile app stack; I’ll grant repo access as soon as we start. If you have experience debugging search logic, handling input validation, or dealing with real-time query triggers, you’ll be a great fit.
