So, sorta like combining the subject-only threaded display of
landing page (e.g <https://public-inbox.org/git/>)

Or, perhaps in other words, similar to:
<https://public-inbox.org/git/?q=precious&x=t>
but with only the Subject/Date lines, and no message bodies.

Definitely.  I don't really like the way the search summary page
as-is, either.
