EXTENDED CACHING AND QUERY-TIME VALIDATION

In a distributed computing environment comprising a frontend system with a search platform having a cache of pre-computed search results and a backend system with one or more data-bases and a validation instance, a request is received at the search platform from a client comprising one or more first key-values indicating a first data record and at least a first pre-computed search result and a second pre-computed search result for the first data record is retrieved from the cache. The validation instance evaluates a current validity of the first pre-computed search result and the second pre-computed search result retrieved from the cache and returns the first pre-computed search result to the client device, or in response to evaluating that the first pre-computed search result is invalid and the second pre-computed search result is valid, returns the second pre-computed search result to the client.
