[Architecture]: Implement Custom Debounce Hook for Search Inputs to Prevent API Rate-Limiting #662

Description

🧩 Problem

The current search bars (likely in the community or courses section) trigger state updates and potential data filtering algorithms on every single keystroke. For fast typists, this causes unnecessary re-renders and excessive function calls, leading to UI stuttering and potential memory overhead.

🎯 Expected Outcome

Create a reusable React hook useDebounce(value, delay) to throttle the input state, ensuring that the heavy filtering logic or API calls are only executed after the user has stopped typing for a specified interval (e.g., 500ms).

✅ Acceptance Criteria

  • Create a hooks/useDebounce.ts (or .js) utility.
  • Wrap the main search input handlers with this debounce hook.
  • Optimize the search component to prevent memory leaks by utilizing useEffect cleanup timeouts.
