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...
