I still feel the same problem as last time: when you expand a facet, the
informations below the mouse change, leaving me lost: in these kinds of
expansion, the item below the mouse cursor after the expansion should be
the same that it was before the expansion.

In the past you would set the headers of the reply to ask for no
caching.  One was Pragma: no-cache, another was to set the expiration
date to yesterday.

I did some googling around:

This page does some caching tests on the browser:
  http://www.procata.com/cachetest/

More about controlling the cache:

    Documents a cache-control directive
