[Clipart] Searching and download graphics

I've been thinking.

Your server is going to get hammered everytime people do searches on it
for particular graphics.   I like the idea of setting up a thumbnail
database and a search function to find particular photos, or you could
organize by type as well.

Would it be possible to create a utility which downloads to a users
computer the thumbnail database and other search criteria?  This would
allow searches to take place locally.  When a user has decided what they
want, the utility will connect to the server and download what they
want.  The local utility could be set up to link to a complete download
or a multiple set of chosen graphics or a single picture at a time.

This will reduce the workload on the server and allow users to browse
through the thumbnail photo collection at their leisure on their own
computer.
