The flaw in this is that it's not normal to link to a page that
includes ever-changing data and be surprised when it changes.  If you
linked to a search results from Google would you expect it to always
contain the same list of search results?

If it's one item per page then just fetch that item.  Not sure where a
search engine fits into this.  Just so you can show previous and next
