We discuss cavity tuning schemes for cosmic axion searches and strategies to extend such searches to high frequency without sacrifice in volume and hence signal-to-noise. Particular regard is given to the difficulties that arise from the tendency of the cavity mode to localize in a small region of the cavity and from the fact that the modes may become relatively dense in frequency space. Computer simulations of cavity performance have been carried out in order to optimize the cosmic axion search rate for a given magnet size and field.
