- pii 6y agoSearching already isn't idempotent
- remram 6y agoidempotent != immutable Search is idempotent in the sense that it doesn't change anything on the server, other than mutating caches (which should be idempotent).
- naniwaduni 6y agoPretty sure nobody cares about ensuring that e.g. a proxy knows that nothing will go wrong if it issues a search twice. It's the reverse direction that matters.
- remram 6y agoYes, this is why search is idempotent
- pii 6y agoOh TIL. Thanks
