Thank you for the answer, Rich

Still a question below:

Take an example: there are one million subscribers in a telephone
catalogue. Each subscriber entry is immediately
below the root entry.

A client maintains a cache with a subset of the subscriber entries using
persistent search. Each time a new subscriber is added in the subset the
subscriber entry is searched for in the telephone catalogue using
persistent search. (The subset is say
members of some club.)

Is such use of LCUP fully infeasible ?

Or should the client make a persistent search for all the entries in the
catalogue but skipping those
it's not interested in ?
