Fix the search please

Postby Psy on Mon Apr 07, 2008 1:26 pm

I search using the text box at the top of the board that I'm visiting and when I try to get onto the next page of results I get the message, "Sorry but you cannot use search at this time. Please try again in a few minutes."

I get that too. I think it's because you can only do one search in a certain period of time, and the site treats going to the next page of results as a new search. If you wait for about 30 seconds before going to the next page, it normally works out ok.

Yeah, its not broken, its just the way it works.

Its basically a way to prevent the server from being overloaded by constant search queries I think.

well if you do wait 30 seconds and you press "next", you can browse all the pages without any loading, or better yet, waiting time. So it counts "pressing next page" as a new search entry, whilst it doesnt add waiting time, but because you just searched you got to wait before you can look trough all the pages until that 30 seconds expire. Hope i made a bit of sense there.

It's not broken but I've never really noticed it because admins don't have a flood limit. Whilst it is necessary for the reasons that Shadow explained, I have lowered it to 15 seconds to make it a bit easier.
