Ah. Sadly, I think there isn't a way on v1.2.x to add the Store plugin
without causing an initial search to happen. When I referred to
`loadAnnotations` I was thinking that you would get the annotations from
your data store with your own code, and then just pass them to annotator
directly, without a Store plugin. But alas. If you want to re-use the
existing Store plugin we'll want to modify it not to perform an initial
search if that's a need of yours.
