The AbortController is correctness, not economy. Without it a slow response for 'st' can land after the fast one for 'st marys' and replace a correct list with a stale one — the classic autosuggest race. No cache: 'no-store', unlike the compare modal's search. This is the one endpoint where prefix queries repeat most across users, so discarding the browser cache and the backend's ETag 304s would be throwing away the cheapest win available.
