Instant search based on search template FSE

[r-chrzan]

Is it possible at the current stage of work to achieve the effect of a instant search engine based on a search template in editor, as is the case with wpmovies?

We haven't tried it yet, but we think it should be possible to build it for the Query Loop, in a similar way to the client-side pagination, except that the navigate calls are triggered from the search block instead of the pagination links.

@luisherranz I'm working on one project as part of Interactivity tests and I managed to achieve the effect of searching in the Query Loop block, but it seems to work a little slower due to the (promises?), and I can't get full-page navigation in any way because there is no such thing at the moment options? Am I right?

@r-chrzan That's right, full-page client-side navigation is not available yet in Gutenberg. It will likely take a bit longer as it's something very complex to release and we need to do it carefully. That said, I think you should be able to achieve what you want with the region-based client-side navigation.

Can you show the code that you are using so I can take a look?

@luisherranz If you want to help with this particular case I can send you a whole site exported from LocalWP, because for now i only check possibilities of using Interactivity, or you can provide me how to achieve display post when i have prefetching and client side nav. I based on code from docs and a bit of wpmovies
