 > I don't think we need transient caching for this. We're dealing with a
 fairly arbitrary features matrix and arbitrary searching... It would
 explode the database without much benefit. It's unlikely to see much
 crossover with someone else's results; meanwhile, the JS maintains a local
 cache for that particular person.

 Thanks for the feedback, good point about the transient caching. I will
 give the JSONP approach a shot.
