Without looking into the sources I think it should not be that difficult to dump the list of found items into a file and resume later from that point.

You can expect a feature request that allows to manipulate certain parts of the cache only (re-scan or delete a subtree). This would turn the cache into a database but will surely introduce a lot of trouble to implement. Other problems like the forseeable synchronisation problems and races in the cache generation should be caught by locking and/or "It's a feature".
