Title: Search timeouts for 90 sec Post by: gollum on August 18, 2013, 01:03:00 AM When I search the forum the search functionality will be locked for 90 secs, thats way to high and wastes our time. 5 sec would be enough.

Terms: "Bitcoin rank" "Wealthy Elite" I ended up entering the (second) search string into Google appending "site:bitcointalk.org" to the end. Somebody on the #bitcoin IRC chat commented: Quote <YouIsCat> Congratulations on feeding the beast. <YouIsCat> Did you enjoy being wiretapped in the NSA terminal called "Google"? Seen in that light, the non-working search is actually a security risk. Edit: Obviously the timer was added after the search function was used to DDOS the forum. Perhaps making searches more "burstable" would help: - -You are allowed 2 searches every 20 seconds - -You are allowed 4 searches every 5 minutes |
