Forum search tim-outs


Recommended Posts

Is it really necessary to have a time restriction on the number of searches within a certain time period?

For example if you click the "New Posts" link and there aren't any new posts it comes up with a message to "click here" for the last 24 hours of mesages

If you click the link it tells you to wait 10 seconds but the link disappears.

 

The search function is pretty bad and I have never had any real luck getting the results I want as a lot of unrelated posts show up in the results and then the search timing restriction don't really allow you to have a quick second go so most of the time I give up.

It's absolutely necessary mate to stop spam clicking. Vbulletin has always had a bad reputation for its search function, I suggest using Advanced Search or Tags.

I always get the best results with advanced search and searching using thread titles only.

When I get some time I'll look into alternatives and maybe add google search in here.
