Yes, you are correct. I'm definitely up for rethinking this whole thing, but gotta keep those users happy :)

I might be able to do something like that for some queries. The problem is that the user typically filters all views and in a way that I'd have hundreds if not thousands of those queries being stored persistently and being invalidated every second or so. I could certainly cut down some of the searching by doing it this way. But I don't think it would work for most of my users and their ever-changing searching needs.
