Hi all,  
I need to calculate aggregations for every search request since my UI  
requires it.  
For performance considerations I ended up splitting every search request to  
2, the first to do the information retrieval itself and another to  
aggregate the results while using the query cache by specifying  
search\_type=count.

Is there a way for me to do both requests in one? e.g, to change the search  
type to a type that knows to use the cache when possible?

Thanks a lot!
