search: Fix search results page flickering (!39015) · Merge requests · Warren Gifford / sourcegraph

Created by: fkling

This commit introduces a simple fix to prevent the search homepage from being shown for a split second when navigating back to search results.

As the issue points out, the reason for the flicker is that the component rerenders before the query state was updated.

Medium term we should look into how/when the query state is updated, but considering there is a release cut today, we should get this fix in asap.

Test plan

Navigated back from a file to search results, didn't see the search homepage flash.
