Question,

If posible to have a history of your searches many time you are searching for the same thing or similar over and over again meaning that you are using resources over and over again.

for example if I perform a sear for the word "RULES":

I will get this results.

Rules.mp3 ip.xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
the rules of gnutella ip.xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

this times 100 ok now if i'm going to perform another search like word "GNUTELLA":

i will get the list


the rules of gnutella ip.xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

this mean that i created two searches and got similar results.
if is possible to create an history file that is checked before sending any request to the internet meaning that the search could be faster because I already perform the search before?
if a min of 50 machin files are not found then and only then the regular search is performed.
this history file could be reset every 30 minutes.
Do you think this is possible.

It is quite sensible to cache results, indeed. However, you do run into a problem of the constant changing nodes. For example, after a few minutes, your PUSH route (for firewalled nodes) may already be lost. After an hour or so, the node that had the sent the result may have gone offline too.

that's right, but the history files is reset every 30 minutes the idea is to save resources if the route is down and if you choose to download the file download is going to fail but in how many cases the route is going to be up and running and the download is going to work. don't you think this will help a little in speed?
