I see …

Something like this I guess:

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/16596](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/16596)

@daniel / @david / @tgxworld ?

It adds a new “find” query once a minute, but I guess this is acceptable since it will not happen every single request. I kept the old interface in place.

Can not easily be tuned further without breaking the plugin interface which would be a bit of a nightmare.
