Well, without a better understanding of the application involved it's hard
to say.   But for something like a repetitively delivered newsfeed caching
is a VERY useful technique.  If you know the source data hasn't changed why
bother looking again?  And you WILL have client program hammering away FAR
more frequently than the search results changing.
