But isn't the search actually executed twice, once for retrieving the Hits and once for creating the QueryFilter instance if refinement is needed afterwards? This is what I try to prevent. I see that for the same query and unmodified index I can reuse a queryFilter but this is quite unlikely in my scenario. Additionaly QueryFilter doesn't seem to be ready for multiple refinement steps (like searching for printers - HP - Laser - more than 16 ppm). I'll try to implement different approaches, profile them and come back with some evidence rather than bothering you with my speculations.
