Thanks Gerrit, invoking search and passing all params per GET is the way to go.
For a public-facing example, see the search box in e.g. https://words.fromoldbooks.org/Chalmers-Biography/n/newton-sir-isaac.html
works this way, doing a fresh search for each page. But there's only some six million words (almost all English) in the book.
It's very much a work in progress, but it got useful enough to make public. I'll add jump links (page: 1 2 3...) and more features later.
On the biography pages the results of the "similar images" query at the foot of the page are cached, although that's mostly because it was easier to reuse the framework i already had for the rest of the site than not to cache them. The site is not using RESTXQ.
