| \description{ |
| The \code{cacheAs} parameter of the query functions is a different thing from the |
| \code{cache} parameter of \code{\link[=KorAPConnection]{KorAPConnection()}}. The latter is a transparent |
| speed-up: it stores server responses where the package finds them again, and |
| throwing it away costs nothing but time. The former stores a finished result |
| in a file the caller names and keeps, which is what makes an analysis |
| reproducible: KorAP corpora grow, so the same query returns different numbers |
| next year, and the scores computed from them may change with the package. |
| } |
| \details{ |
| A cache file therefore records what produced it, and is not reused when that |
| no longer matches what is being asked for. |
