Research direction
Investigate the 'Get a Hint' button component used on workshop pages. Look for the code that constructs the forum search URL, likely in the client/src directory. The issue is that the search query does not include the workshop title. Find where the title is missing and ensure it is appended to the search query. Existing comments may provide hints on the location.
