#1760 noted that creating a new rand.Rand every time a random number is generated causes a poor distrubution of the search space, where numbers appear 7x more frequently than they do when using a shared rand.Rand instance.
This is demonstrated using the following Go playground link: https://go.dev/play/p/EkhINRfOO5p
This commit changes Vulture to use a shared rand.Rand instance instead of creating a new one each time a search or read is performed.
Closes #1760.
