    const titleThatUserNeed = titleMatch ? decodeURIComponent(titleMatch[1]) : "";
    if (titleThatUserNeed) {
        setSearchParams({ title: [titleThatUserNeed] });
    }
}
```

### Multi-Parameter Support
The system maintains existing parameters while adding new ones:

```javascript
const currentParams = Object.fromEntries(searchParams.entries());
setSearchParams({ ...currentParams, newParam: value });
