Can Searchers be treated analogously to file handles, i.e. shared between
processes (opened in a parent, shared between children) as long as only one
process uses it at a time, or is there per-process state that will get screwed
up?

This doesn't really help with the question at hand, since I don't plan on
preloading the searchers, but it's an interesting thing to keep in mind.
