Optimize search

[cecilia-donnelly]

Currently, the app pulls all the records from the database on document.ready() (with a GET), and then searches among those. This is fine with our tiny sample set, but it will be very slow once we're working with real data. I'm not sure what the right way to do this is. We probably want to use some server-side sorting and filtering, instead of doing it all in the client.

This will require the addition of a search endpoint to the API -- I'd like to avoid adding that type of endpoint for this round simply because we should first get alignment on the existing endpoints across the openhmis discussion list.

@slifty thanks for the response! @kfogel indicated that this wasn't urgent for this round, but I'm glad to know what we'll need to do.
