I doubt all 200 students will be making concurrent searches.
I can easily imagine a scenario where 200 students in a large lecture classroom might be instructed to open their laptops, go to Wikipedia, and search for a particular topic at the same time. Similar to how teachers [used to] say "now everyone in the class turn to Chapter 8...".
If that is indeed what we're talking about here, it will be disruptive.
I imagine the more common cases involve either distributing a URL or instructing students to search for a particular topic, which typically routes through Google or Yahoo! or some external search engine. Both of these cases wouldn't be disrupted, as I understand it.
That said, I'm not sure what this thread is about. What problem are we trying to solve? Are we having issues with concurrent searches? Does anyone have links to Phabricator Maniphest tasks or Gerrit commits?
