Job queue and search engine

mat

Hi,

I want to implement a search engine with lucene.
To be scalable, I would like to execute search jobs asynchronously (with a job queuing system).

But i don't know if it is a good design... Why ?

Search results can be large ! (eg: 100+ pages with 25 documents per page)
With asynchronous sytem, I need to store results for each search job.
I can set a short expiration time (~5 min) for each search result, but it's still large.

What do you think about it ?
Which design would you use for that ?

Thanks
Mat
