4.5 Search logic on "filmer"

[Fagerdahl]

Type:

Feature
As a user,
I want to search for movies by title where I can quickly find and access specific movies from the database.

BDD

Given:
The user is on the movie listing page, and a search input field is visible and ready for interaction.

When:
The user types a search term into the input field.

Then:
A search is performed against the movie database, and the results are dynamically displayed based on matching titles.

Tasks

• Create an API route /api/search to handle case-insensitive queries.

• Update the frontend component to capture user input and send requests to the API.

• Display matching results dynamically under the input field.

Acceptance Criteria / Definition of Done

• The search field accepts text input and triggers a request as the user types.
• Results update dynamically without needing to reload the page.
• The API returns matching movie titles using a case-insensitive regex.
• A "no results" message appears if no match is found.
