Search Form Fix

Issue

Search results were being duplicated because selecting a suggestion triggered both:

1. The suggestions form submission (to /suggest_parks/)
2. The filter form submission (to /park_list/)

Root Cause

The @search-selected event handler was submitting the wrong form. It was submitting the suggestions form which has hx-target="#search-results" instead of the filter form which has hx-target="#park-results".

Solution

Update the event handler to submit the filter form instead of the search form. This ensures only one request is made to update the results.

Implementation

1. Modified the @search-selected handler to:
   • Set the search query in filter form
   • Submit filter form to update results
   • Hide suggestions dropdown
2. Added proper form IDs and refs

Benefits

• Eliminates duplicate requests
• Maintains correct search behavior
• Improves user experience
