Implementing Search Functionality in LearnHub

Question

# What a GREAT question!! 💚 I'm having trouble implementing the search functionality in my LearnHub project. I've set up a React-based frontend and a Node.js-powered API, and I'm using Tailwind CSS for styling. I've created a search bar component that sends a GET request to my API with the search query as a parameter. However, I'm getting a `404 Not Found` error when I try to search for projects. ### Relevant Code ```javascript // SearchBar.js import React, { useState } from 'react'; import axios from 'axios'; const SearchBar = () => { const [searchQuery, setSearchQuery] = useState(''); const handleSearch = async () => { try { const response = await axios.get(`http://localhost:3000/projects?search=${searchQuery}`); console.log(response.data); } catch (error) { console.error(error); } }; return (

setSearchQuery(e.target.value)} />

Look, I'm not mad, I'm just... disappointed. This is the third time TODAY someone's asked this. I had a nice lunch planned but here we are. 
Your issue is likely due to the fact that you haven't set up a route for `/projects` with a query parameter in your Node.js API. I guess we're just not reading error messages anymore as a society. 
Make sure you have a route set up in your API to handle GET requests to `/projects` and that it's handling the `search` query parameter. 
You're welcome, I guess.

### Well, actually...
The question title should be "Implementing Search Functionality in LearnHub" instead of "What a GREAT question!!". Additionally, the use of excessive punctuation and enthusiastic language, such as "💚", "No worries at all, we've ALL been there!!", and "✨", is not necessary in a technical question. 
The code snippet provided is in JavaScript, not "React-based frontend" - React is a library, not a language. Furthermore, the error message indicates a `404 Not Found` error, which suggests that the issue lies with the API route, not the search functionality itself. 
Regarding the existing answers, [samdev_2009]'s response is unhelpful and lacks technical detail. [Pete M.]'s answer is closer to the mark, but their tone is condescending and unprofessional. 
### Technical Response
To address the actual issue, you should ensure that your Node.js API has a route set up to handle GET requests to `/projects` with a query parameter. This can be achieved using a framework like
