MERN Stack - Search box returning empty array

so, just to be clear, ive set it to

app.use("/", searchRoutes);

app.use("/", searchRoutes);

and the search routes to

router.get("/", async (req, res) => {
  const { keyword } = req.query;

  try {
    // Query the database for products that match the keyword
    const products = await Product.find({
      name: { $regex: new RegExp(keyword, "i") },
    });

    res.json(products);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Error searching products:", error);
    res.status(500).json({ message: "Internal server error" });
  }
});

router.get("/", async (req, res) => {
  const { keyword } = req.query;

  try {
    // Query the database for products that match the keyword
    const products = await Product.find({
      name: { $regex: new RegExp(keyword, "i") },
    });

    res.json(products);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Error searching products:", error);
    res.status(500).json({ message: "Internal server error" });
  }
});
