I don't believe so; my response would probably be to implement a
caching layer in the session so you know where in the search results
you are, and can dip back out or move forward/backwards in the
document-as-search-result view. You could cache the salient parts of
the MSet (say 10 at a time) to avoid hitting the search service all
that often, although you may have to do a clever dance if the database
changes underneath you.
