Citations inserted in surprising/difficult-to-remember places (Was: Save search history) #1

I leave a lot of (pub-med "hoyer js") expressions in my files. I am thinking that it would be nice to save search history and results, possibly for ido-style autocompletion of searches, or better yet to cache search results to avoid having to communicate with the NCBI server to use pubmode's sweet user interface.

Aside: I do not like GitHub issues or Markdown. Just look at this text! Awful. Why is the text not auto-wrapping? Please consider emailing me instead of creating an issue.

How does pubmode work? pub-ncbi.el uses EUtils to get XML. Is it just kept in memory? Or saved to disk somewhere?

Closing this issue because I am tired of seeing it in my list.

I have recently been having trouble with with pubmode inserting citations into some buffer other than the one from which the search was initiated. I do not understand why is the function getting "locked" onto specific buffers, so I cannot predict which ones are being modified. Even worse, pubmode gets locked into "insert plain text citation" mode, preventing insertion of bibtex cite keys.

A related issue is that I sometimes have the same buffer open in multiple frames, and so the cite key does not get inserted at point, but rather at my cursor position in some other window.
