Previously, when a HTML form page was rendered with a lot (>hundreds) of searchable items, the augmentation process to make them searchable was taking a very long time.

In Werk #15098, we addressed this by not making them searchable if too many such items are present.

This was very noticeable when editing a notification rule with a checkmk configuration containing many tag definitions for example.

With this werk, we restore the searchability if many searchable items are present by letting the browser execute the augmentation process in the background.

This process should not be noticeable by the user. No manual action is required to make this work.
