I see this table ow_base_search_result grows and grows indefinitely. Can anyone tell me what use is, if this is normal for a network of 800 members who work well without mistakes? Should I leave empty or keep growing?

See the image.

that depends whether these are active members and how often they search users on your website, if they do that a lot, then it is ok.

4700 members come and look much, yes, but I let it grow indefinitely? What if empty from time to time? I understand it is a kind of cache searches. I do not understand the utility, each time looking for different things. Why store the search results?

yes, sure you can clear that table, yes that is a cache table it just stores the id of the users which should be shown for example on the second page of the search results, in order not to make a new query and request to the database which decreases the load on the server. 


If the table grows, probably some users are staying online as this table, at least the search results cache of that user should be cleared out from the table, which means your cron is not properly configured
