When the search query changes, the previous search's network, decoding, and image work all have to stop. How would you structure the task tree using cancellation propagation from parent Task to child Tasks?
Map one search to one parent Task and structure the network, decoding, and image work as child Tasks inside it; then when the query changes, calling cancel() on the one parent Task you kept propagates cancellation to every child.
