I imagine the more common cases involve either distributing a URL or
instructing students to search for a particular topic, which typically
routes through Google or Yahoo! or some external search engine. Both of
these cases wouldn't be disrupted, as I understand it.

That said, I'm not sure what this thread is about. What problem are we
trying to solve? Are we having issues with concurrent searches? Does
anyone have links to Phabricator Maniphest tasks or Gerrit commits?
