Description

enhancement

We should probably cache the index locally for a short period of time (e.g. 5 minutes), to more efficiently handle rapid queries.

The period should be short enough to not really worry about other invalidation mechanisms - we can just skip the network traffic entirely. Passing -f should skip it, of course.
