Refactor autocomplete/suggestion behavior (front-end only) 

The previous implementation of autocomplete/suggestions on the front end
resulted in a situation where input and keydown events were constantly
being added to the search input bar. This was refactored to set up the
events only once and process suggestion navigation and appending
suggestions separately with different functions.

This has been tested on both an Android simulator, as well as an Android
tablet and seems to work as expected.
