Waiting time between searches

Kean · 02-24-2008

I find it annoying that, even though we are encouraged to search for our answers and hacks, there's a waiting time between searches. I know it probably helps in SOME way for the forum, but I can't help but feel exasperated when I try to search for something, can't find anything, type another search entry, and am told to wait. 15 seconds may not seem long at all to wait, but it's the fact that I have to wait to search which I find really stupid.

So I'm asking whether or not you can set aside that waiting time. Maybe it'll be convenient to other people besides me.

Thanks.

i totally agree
but i think there is a specific reason the wait period is there

i hate when i accidentally double click the "new posts" link and i have to wait.. why do we have to wait?? can't you see we are very busy??!

Let me explain it like this.

Every time you hit the search button, it sends a request to the webserver. The request contains what you want, which a script searches the entire mysql database, which then returns a result.

We have the time limit in place so that the server doesn't become overloaded from searches and stuff

Oh, I see... OK, I'll just wait my 15 seconds then.

Very smart idea. I had a feeling it was that.

Tylertut · 02-24-2008

yea i know it had to be something with the servers getting to much info at once

BumbleFuck · 02-24-2008

Yeah because i wouldn't want my servers to have an overload
