+perf: share one Map key read between concurrent callers
+
+The search page's filter panel, search bar and group-by each load the same Map
+keys when the page opens. Each sent its own text index read, which on large
+tables can use several GiB of memory. Concurrent requests for the same keys now
+share one query.
