A search engine system ( 100 ) is disclosed that can include at least one content addressable memory (CAM) device ( 102 ) arranged in a cascade configuration with at least one memory device ( 104 ), such as a static random access memory (SRAM). A CAM device ( 102 ) and memory device ( 104 ) may be connected to one another by point-to-point unidirectional connections. Command data issued by a device, such as a network processing unit (NPU) ( 110 ), can flow through all devices beginning with a CAM device ( 102 ) and eventually to a memory device ( 104 ). A memory device ( 104 ) can compare its own current result data with that of a previous device in a flow (such as another RAM device), and generate an output response.
