Description

Issue Type: Enhancement

Platform: Web

Description: While using the text field with URLParams every single character/key press adds to the URL so if you say type in "cheese" into the box and press the back button you have to press it once for every single character (so pressing it once results in "chees", etc). I don't think this makes sense, it should be an entire word or something?

Screenshots: No screenshots sorry

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions: Description should explain it

Reactivesearch version: 2.6.2

Browser: all

Anything else: Nothing else

Research direction
The issue requests debouncing URL parameter updates to avoid updating on every keystroke. Look at the URLParams component in the codebase, likely in src/lib/components/URLParams. Investigate how the text field component integrates with URLParams. Consider implementing a debounce or updating on blur/enter. Check if there are any existing comments or PRs discussing this behavior.
