That was precisely what I was thinking.

However, I think the problem is rather easy to remedy. The hub should
simply ignore the second search request if it comes too early and send
an error back to the client. That way, the client can simply retry at
its convenience.

Also, like I said elsewhere, I think all commands should have an "OK"
return if they succeed. That way, the client will know when it can
start counting the seconds.
