search reset time

[ferret]

This has been bothering me for a long time:

You cannot make another search so soon after your last; please try again in a short while.

I think that after we got the new forum theme the settings for these kinds of things were changed.

I'm just really tired of searching for something, then having to wait like 15 seconds before I can search again. I know this is nit-picky but I just can't stand it anymore.

i have to wait only 3 seconds.

but yes, can someone change this plz, tis annoying.

Why is it that big a deal, 3 seconds?
But I suppose it is annoying. Ban the 3 seconds.

well its used so the server load dosnet go too high. But if blink pid a good bit for his host than i think it should be fine disabling it. (my server is a quad processor, and its paid )

the delay was added because a simple "continue searching "-script could bring down the server to its knees. One could write one in javascript, its way more effective than ddossing. You have no idea how much power it takes to search a database.

well, if it were just three seconds for me it would be fine. But I've timed it a couple of times and it takes around 15-17 seconds for me to be able to search again and I have a fast connection etc...

Never more then 5 seconds for me, and it won't change.

I don't understand how it could be different. Maybe you guys aren't counting seconds the same way.

I hit the "view posts since last visit" and immediately begin counting seconds. Then I keep retrying the search as quick as possible until it works. Once I narrowed down a range of time, I found that clicking immediately after 15 seconds lets me search. (btw, it does it for both firefox and internet explorer) so is anyone else getting around 15 seconds?

I swear it wasn't like this before the site was changed.

Was most likely a phpbb update.

Stop trying to rape the server.
