### Description

Adding search to maps for both collection and edit experiences.

The big decision to make is what service(s) to support and how to pass the API key needed.

Service options:
* [MapTiler](https://docs.maptiler.com/openlayers/examples/geocoding-control/)
* [Google](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/overview)
* [Mapbox](https://docs.mapbox.com/api/search/geocoding/)
