ta-meteor-apollo-starter-kit | Meteor 1.8, Apollo 2 | Frontend Framework library

I have adopted a project that was built on this starter kit. This architecture employs App Shell and SSR. I am trying to add a simple search bar and this will mean passing the search keys from the search bar component to the post-list component so they can be filtered. I have found that this is nearly impossible with Context Providers and Consumers. I would like to use Context, but I do not know how to do it. It looks like this starter kit has this as a serious shortcoming and if it could be solved, it would make this kit more useful online.

If you look at the code below and in the link above, you can see that there is a header center and then thee are pages. I need a communication between the header and the pages. You can just use the code in the link to add the sibbling communication.

The use of Hydrate seems to preclude the simple application of a context provider. Hydrate adds components in a parallel way with no way to have the Context Provider above both of them. This pattern I am using here does not work. When I update the provider it does not cause a re-render of the context consumer.

If I have to use something other than Context, like say Redux, then I will accept that answer.

Here is the client entry point:
