Summary of Changes

Smart Search module creates new Query and triggers Joomla\Component\Finder\Administrator\Indexer::processString() method which loads available taxonomy branch titles via separate SQL query per each module (duplicate query).

We should not process empty string, when the module is loaded without any input. Plus, Taxonomy::getBranchTitles() load should use static cache and produce only single query to prevent duplicate when we have multiple mod_finder instances (i.e. typical case for Yootheme templates where one module is rendered in header and second in mobile dialog).

Testing Instructions

Create two Smart Search modules, apply patch,

Actual result BEFORE applying this Pull Request

Load page with Smart Search modules, see duplicate queries like:

SELECT `title`
FROM `jos_finder_taxonomy`
WHERE `parent_id` = 1 AND `state` = 1 AND `access` IN (1,5)

Expected result AFTER applying this Pull Request

No useless queries, the mod_finder render time is also faster now.
