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

[jshoyer]

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.
