Vercel migrated the code search tool Grep from Create React App to Next.js, using React Server Components to improve initial page load speed while preserving the quick navigation feel of a single-page app. The migration involved conditional rendering of the search bar in the header versus the homepage to avoid layout shift, URL-based state management to keep search input in sync across pages, and server-side data fetching with TanStack Query for instant search results.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://vercel.com/blog/migrating-grep-from-create-react-app-to-next-js:

> Here's how we migrated Grep to Next.js—keeping the interactivity of a SPA, but with the performance improvements from React Server Components.
