Same thing here, any update on this?
I'm having a strange behavior where my validateSearch run link 20 times or more when I navigate to the route (and run about 4 times in other routes)

Raising the question. I also encountered this problem when using useNavigate, during validation the default parameters are returned, but they are not substituted in the URL.

This is our biggest migration hurdle so far. Our users often share links to daily reports/metrics which aren't always opened the same day by the recipient- because the default state is omitted from the URL, there's no way to guarantee state consistency without forcing a redirect to update the search.

Would love to hear if anyone has a better solution, love the type safety of this library but I'm finding myself sinking far too many hours trying to reinvent the wheel.
