Best way to handle big search results..

[Arne Brutschy <ma...@studserv.uni-leipzig.de>]

Hi,

I'm looking for the best way to handle big search results.

Setting: the user can search for other users in the ldap directory. This 
might return a long list of results (~40.000 entrys). Sadly, OpenLDAP 
doesn't support server-side sorting, so I have to sort the results 
myself. I want to display 20 items per page, and the user can browse 
through these results.

What is the best way to handle these result object? Sorting once and 
storing/caching it in the session or searching and sorting every time 
the user requests a new page of results?

Any thoughts/experiences?

Regards,
Arne Brutschy
