    genserver based approach to the ListCheckerWorker
    ** Summary **
      ListCheckerWorker is the OTP actor that handles the actual ContentIndexerService.list_contains to check
      whether a given word is contained in a list of tokens

     Due to the fact that we have a very large dataset - potentially millions - a process is spawned for each

   ** Basic Useage **

    A method is called by the server for each list of tokens and returns a result based on whether
    a given word was found in the list or not

    Checks with a worker whether an item is contained in the list

      - index: Integer representing the index of the list
