Search Flood Control - Albion Child - 04-24-2003
If I may make a suggestion.
Please disable search flood control. It seems rather pointless to me and it prevents you from searching for several different keywords consecutively which can prove quite annoying.
If there is a point to this function....well....I fail to see it...
Thanks all

There's quite a good point. It prevents people from bringing a server to its knees via rapid, repeating searches. There is no process that uses up more CPU time and memory than a search for text strings on a forum. Also, automated scripts can easily be developed (especially for forum software like this one that releases free source code) that would hang a server via mass flood attacks of that kind...

Well you learn something every day! : )
It is a pain when trying to search for synonomous keywords, but if it is possible to "bring a server to its knees" then I can certainly see its necessity. Thanks for removing a small portion of my idiocy :blink:
