Search is seriously inefficient

[jjccharles]

Searching courses in pathways and in plannify works by loading all 6000+ courses into a search component and filtering on the search options as the user loads input. For a dataset this large we need to move to a different implementation model in which the user types the course code and presses enter to yield the best result (by calling the backend and yielding such a result).

Now this change will mean no autocomplete in the current sense but will mean far better load times and performance overall.
