[bug\_fix] useSearchParams requires Suspense boundary when used in Server Component import tree

Wrap the Client Component that uses \`useSearchParams\` in a \`\` boundary in the parent Server Component, or mark the page as \`export const dynamic = 'force-dynamic'\` to disable static generation.

Journey Context:
Developer creates a \`SearchResults\` component marked with 'use client' that calls \`const searchParams = useSearchParams\(\)\` from \`next/navigation\`. They import this into \`app/search/page.tsx\` \(a Server Component\). During \`next build\`, they get an error: "useSearchParams\(\) should be wrapped in a suspense boundary at page/app level." Alternatively, the build succeeds but the page is deopted to client-side rendering entirely. The rabbit hole involves understanding that \`useSearchParams\` reads from the browser's URL, which is unknown during static generation on the server. Without Suspense, React cannot stream the HTML because it doesn't know what the search params are yet. By wrapping the component in \`\}>\`, the server renders the fallback HTML, streams it to the browser, and then React hydrates the boundary once the client JS loads and the search params are available. Alternatively, forcing dynamic rendering makes the server render on-demand per request, allowing access to the request object.
