Description
Non-trivial searches should provide cursor support
- do a

Research direction
Start by tracing the non-trivial search path and its ft.agregate call. Define the cursor object's lifecycle and its URL-safe, protected serialization for web applications; done means search results expose a usable cursor and web apps can safely serialize and restore it.
