searchController: Avoid event.set_source() API

It does not make sense that the target actor is both destinatary
and content of the events being sent, so this API call is going away.

Since the event can be sent entirely unmodified (more so, it will
become immutable/readonly in the future), avoid creating a copy
since it does not matter sending one or other struct.
