 ## GENERAL
     * going forward into search page (and probably all POSTs) does not work - no data posted (e.g. no search term)
-        - use replaceState in routes I know use POST and I need to keep data, try search first

+        - okay somehow (maybe cache-control?) is causing flask to handle this and gunicorn does not!
+        - seems we could make the /search url be /search/term and use a GET, this would make it not run into this issue
+        - OR, seems we can follow a different pattern... don't render_template instead do a redirect to a GET of the new, or list? for del...
 
     * per file you could select an unknown face and add it as a ref img to an existing person, or make a new person and attach?
         * [DONE] order/ find face with largest size and at least show that as unmatched
