ahh, that sounds like fun - so i generate all possible pages in all
possible languages and store them - but what about search and query
results - do i generate all possible searches and all possible
queries in all possible languages and store them too?
Not all possible pages but atleast the most requested ones can be cached
based on query string (GET) or POST data of HTTP. There are quite a few
websites that do it. A large online US retailer for example stores generated
for frequent queries such as "britney spears cds" with a fairly low cache-TTL
as such catalogues do not get updated very often. (Catalogues such as
these are often updated in weeks and months if not days).
