Next.js 14 build fails: useSearchParams() must be wrapped in Suspense boundary
Problem
Running next build fails with: "useSearchParams() should be wrapped in a suspense boundary at page /search". Any page that calls useSearchParams() at the component root without a Suspense wrapper causes the entire build to fail in Next.js 14 App Router.
Error Output
Error: useSearchParams() should be wrapped in a suspense boundary at page "/search". Read more: https://nextjs.org/docs/messages/missing-suspense-with-csr-bailout

1 Fix
Extract useSearchParams usage into a child component wrapped in Suspense
Next.js 14 App Router requires any component using useSearchParams() to be inside a Suspense boundary because the hook causes a client-side render bail-out during static generation.

Extract the inner component
Move the useSearchParams() call into a separate inner component:
tsx// Before: useSearchParams at page root — build fails export default function SearchPage() { const searchParams = useSearchParams() // ❌ ... } // After: extract to inner component function SearchResults() { const searchParams = useSearchParams() // ✅ inside Suspense ... } export default function SearchPage() { return ( <Suspense fallback={<div>Loading...</div>}> <SearchResults /> </Suspense> ) } - 2
Import Suspense from React
Add Suspense to your imports: `import { Suspense } from "react"`
- 3
Run next build to confirm
Run `npm run build`. The error about missing Suspense boundary should be gone.
Validation
next build completes without the useSearchParams Suspense boundary error.
