Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 > Minor thing: do we need the separate `debounceSearch` function? Can we
 just wrap `search` in `_.debounce()` instead?

 Thanks for the feedback @batmoo.

 We probably could just wrap `search` with _.debounce. I like adding the
 `debouncedSearch`method because its name makes it clear the function is
 debounced when you invoke it. Looking thru core for other debounce uses, I
 see we do it a bit both ways - sometimes creating a new named function and
 sometimes wrapping a function directly. I'll give it a try that way, will
 probably make for a smaller diff.
