# Search results cache

> Note: mnoGoSearch `3.3.8` introduced a new type of search result caching, which is activated using the `QCache=yes` parameter to DBAddr.

> The new cache additionally supports the search in found feature.

> The rest of this article applies to the old search result cache implementation.

Search results cache allows a very fast `search.cgi` report on recently used queries as well as user's navigation though the pages of the same result.

Search results cache is disabled by default. You may use "Cache yes" `search.htm` command to enable results caching.

Search cache is located in the `$PREFIX/var/cache/` subdirectory, where `$PREFIX` is mnoGoSearch installation's base directory. Each result is stored in a separate file.

> Note: Search results cache is not deleted automatically. You have to delete it every time after indexer's work to avoid displaying non-recent cached results. It is also reasonable to insert cache cleaning into system crontab, for example once a day. To clean cache, just remove all files in the `$PREFIX/var/cache/` directory. For example:

>     /bin/rm -f /usr/local/mnoGoSearch/var/cache/*
