This sends out a shit-ton of requests. You'd be better off crawling the pages it searches once every few months so that you could reject images and scripts with your requests.

Agreed ... and what would be even better is if I could just made direct database calls, or if I could use the pre-made extension which makes direct database calls so I don't have to dirty my hands with filthy PHP code [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

However, I currently only have access to the front-end, so short of constructing a mini-db in local storage on each user's computer I'm stuck with the current mass-crawl approach.

You can crawl the item pages, store them in a large (huge) json file, host the file on aws/heroku, and make the search requests to that server as a hood rat/duct taped api.
