Path Param vs Search Param
What is the Tanstack philosophy on when to use path params vs search params? I've seen in some of the examples things like posts.$postId.tsx for a route, but in the file-based kitchen sink dashboard example the code uses searchParams for the userId. Does it basically come down to personal preference or is there a more concrete reasoning for using one or the other? Thanks

it's both. sometimes a matter of taste, sometimes it is that search params allow much more flexibility
with default, optional search params

Cool thanks, I’ll have to do some more experimenting with each in different scenarios!
