20 Second Search Delay is a PITA

[liskidder]

When I search the forum to try to find an answer to a question, I frequently have to modify my search terms a couple times in order to get good results. The problem is, each time I have to wait 20 seconds between searches, which is annoyingggggggggggg. Is there any way that the delay could be decreased to, say, 10 seconds?

thanks

will take it under consideration however don't assume it will change :)

Thanks. :) I think it would encourange people to search for answers already posted in the forums instead of posting a new thread asking the same questions over and over again.

actually no it wouldn't.
I have tried things to encourage that and nothing works.
They usually dont even know what they should be searching for even if they could do it once every 3 seconds.
Vbulletin is not the most server load friendly script around and the 20 seconds is there for various reasons.

Haha, okay, then it would encourage *me* to search more and not ask dumb questions.

What about modding vBulletin to skip search delay for registered users - or at least users who have been members xx number days and/or have posted xx times? Bots etc. would still be subject to a search delay.

Content visible to registered users only.
I would fully support that idea of VSDan :)

Perhaps member to "v3 Supporter" forum can get that extra bit of advantage as well..... 20 Sec wait can be decreased to 10 :)

As I said will be taken into consideration.

There are advantages to the supporters forum ;)
