SavedSearch module doesn't use results from scheduled search

I'm trying to use the Sideview SavedSearch module to load results from a previous scheduled search in order to quickly populate dropdowns on my page.

<module name="SavedSearch" autoRun="True">                
            <param name="name">populate_dropdowns</param>
            <module name="Pulldown">
etc.

My saved search "populate_dropdowns" is running every minute (for testing purposes!).

When I load my dashboard though it always executes the search again though, rather than loading the previously saved results. Looking in the jobs window, I see the following..

I can see the previously scheduled populate_dropdowns job. I can see the populate_dropdowns search being run again when I load the dashboard (but this time I see it's full definition rather than just it's name). Clicking on inspect shows that both instances return exactly the same results.

Any ideas?
