We have implemented cache invalidation after index and bulk index to make sure that any cached requests will not use stale data.

https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/2743

We have introduced a graceful fallback in case of a request to Enterprise Search backend fails. We would serve a previously-stored stale response (up to 5 minutes).

Additionally, only query requests are counted against the fail counter that blocks subsequent remote requests in case of a failure (via vip_safe_wp_remote_request).
