The article explains how to create a search form in Phoenix LiveView that updates the URL's query string in real-time as the user types. It starts with a simple implementation using the phx-change event to trigger updates in the LiveView module. It shows how to handle input changes with push_patch/2 to dynamically update the URL without reloading the page and how to initialize the live view with the query from the URL using handle_params/3. The benefits of using this method include preserving search state across page reloads, allowing users to bookmark the search, and improving overall user experience.
