Description

Right now, if flyTo is set to false, the map does nothing when user clicks on a search result. I would expect the map to instead jumpTo the location without an animation. Right now, the only way to jumpTo is to get the result from the geocoder, and call jumpTo on the map.

Research direction

Start at the search-result click handling in the geocoder control and trace how the flyTo option is processed. Compare the existing animated navigation with the mapbox-gl-js jumpTo behavior, then verify that clicking a result with flyTo:false moves the map to the result without animation.
