launchSearchPage() does not work correctly after upgrading to Spartacus 2211.41.0

[williampaciaroni]

After upgrading to Spartacus 2211.41.0 and Angular 19, the launchSearchPage() method used by the SearchBoxComponentService no longer behaves as expected.

On the first search attempt, nothing happens — no navigation occurs and no results are displayed.

From the second search onward, the search page is shown, but it displays results for the previous query, not the one just entered.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Upgrade Spartacus to 2211.41.0 and Angular to 19.x.
2. Use a search bar based on SearchBoxComponentService.
3. Type a query (e.g., "shoes") and submit the search.
4. Nothing happens — no navigation or result update.
5. Type a second query (e.g., "pants").
6. The search page opens, but shows results for the first query ("shoes").

Expected Behaviour
Each call to launchSearchPage() should immediately trigger a search and navigate to the results page with the correct query.

Actual Behaviour
The first call to launchSearchPage() has no effect. Subsequent calls navigate to the search page but display results from the previous query.

Environment

• Spartacus: 2211.41.0
• Angular: 19.x

Previously working version: 2211.32.1

Involved component: SearchBoxComponentService

I think we are experiencing the same issue with version 221121.2
