How does `<Form>` from `next/form` differ from a plain `<form>` for a search form?

✓Correct answer: With a string action, it performs a client-side navigation with the query
2It automatically validates fields against a Zod schema before submitting
3It sends data over WebSocket instead of a regular HTTP request

Explanation

<Form action="/search"> turns the fields into searchParams and performs an SPA navigation that keeps the shared layout, instead of a full reload. It prefetches shared UI (e.g. loading.tsx). Without JS it works like a regular form. With a function in action, it behaves like a React form with a Server Action.
