 ## Usage
 
 `navigateTo` is available on both server side and client side. It can be used within the [Nuxt context](/docs/guide/going-further/nuxt-app#the-nuxt-context), or directly, to perform page navigation.

 ```
 
+When using `navigateTo` within route middleware, you must **return its result** to ensure the middleware execution flow works correctly.
+
+For example, the following implementation **will not work as expected**:
+
+```ts
+export default defineNuxtRouteMiddleware((to, from) => {
+  if (to.path !== '/search') {
+    // ❌ This will not work as expected
+    navigateTo('/search', { redirectCode: 301 })
+    return
+  }
+})
+```
+
+In this case, `navigateTo` will be executed but not returned, which may lead to unexpected behavior.
