1. A computer implemented method comprising:
- executing, by a computing device, a search against a client cache associated with a client;
rendering, by the computing device, results from the search against the client cache on a client UI; and
providing, by the computing device, a request to an application server that (i) executes the search against data sources remotely coupled to the client over the network connection (ii) stores, in a server cache, results from the search against the data sources remotely coupled to the client and (iii) returns the results from the search against the data sources remotely coupled to the client;
receiving, by the computing device, the returned results from the search against the data sources remotely coupled to the client;
updating, by the computing device, the client cache and the client UI with the returned results from the search against the data sources remotely coupled to the client;
receiving, by the computing device, (i) a request by a user for a refresh of the server cache and/or (ii) a request by a user for a refresh of the server cache on a periodic basis, wherein the refresh of the server cache comprises re-executing a search against the data sources remotely coupled to the client over the network connection and refreshing the server cache based on the re-executed search against the data sources remotely coupled to the client over the network connection; and
providing, to the application server, (i) the request by a user for a refresh of the server cache and/or (ii) the request by a user for a refresh of the server cache on a periodic basis.

Abstract
A computer implemented method and system include executing a search against both a client cache associated with a client and data sources remotely coupled to the client over a network connection. Results from the search against the client cache are rendered on a client UI. The client cache and the client UI are updated with the results from the search against the data sources.
