WHY? This forum requires a 60-second wait between searches.

What’s the logic behind this? "This forum requires that you wait 60 seconds between searches. Please try again in 21 seconds." It’s incredibly tedious. Any chance this gets addressed so we can actually navigate the site without the constant friction?

Look at the subforum you decided to post this in.
People like you are exactly why we can't have nice things.

I suspect it’s simply a matter of server capacity issues.🤷

I guess it’s because searching puts too much strain on the database... they probably didn't plan for horizontal scaling early enough.

🙂As if your daily off-topic rambling on the already cluttered 'General Discussion' subforum wasn't enough?!

A thread where our colleague @Elon Musk completely missed the mark; it strictly belongs in the 'Reddit Help' section.

It’s fixed. 👍

So 😬

🙏🤣 Damn, (hey 😉), if you weren't married, I’d be asking you out right now. Half the work is already done anyway; I'm in. 🙏🤣

Nothing hits quite like a smart-ass joke. 🙏🙏

Give me a break... And here I was thinking it was just some retired guy at the local AT&T switching station making mistakes...😁

Terry Morales14 said:Why does this even exist—"This forum requires that you wait 60 seconds between searches. Please try again in 21 seconds." It’s honestly such a drag... Is there any chance this gets fixed one day so we can actually navigate the site without the constant stalling?

I feel the same way... I've basically given up on using the built-in search entirely. It's just much easier to use Google to find whatever thread I'm looking for on this site anyway.

Wait, how exactly? Can I get an explanation too?
I'll be halfway through wanting to read something, but since I run into the same wall constantly, I usually just end up giving up and walking away...

I just hit up Google for pretty much anything related to this forum

How exactly does this work? Will I be getting instructions too?

Don't worry, you weren't exempt from that either. 👍

Everything is structured specifically to ensure any changes don't mess too much with your initial frequency.

Plus, here is what actually matters to you: this change won't mess with your other frequency.

...and besides—which is probably what you actually care about—that adjustment isn't going to touch your secondary frequency either.

If I'm actually reading what you just wrote correctly...

Olivia Sullivan68 said:If I can even make sense of what you wrote...

I just summarized the translated text from that image (Search has been disabled.)

Google thinks the American translation for that implies searching is turned off
(set to 'off'... deactivated... unplugged the power cord from the wall)

Look... you can't change it. Neither can I—or any of us common folk.
It’s like seeing " Out of Order " on an elevator door... or God forbid, a sign on a local diner reading " Closed ".

That's why saying "Solved. 👍"
is like two guys arguing over who gets the last sip of a beer, only for a third guy to swoop in, drain the bottle, and declare "There, problem solved!"

Why so bitter? - just regular user...
I mean, there’s actually a whole crew here assigned to handle this stuff, isn't there?

What, am I supposed to just start forgetting how things work on Reddit Help?
...maybe my cries for help are echoing from over here too

There is absolutely nothing more attractive than a smart-ass remark. 🙏🙏

😁 😒 🙂
The first half of the sentence was deleted, which completely ruins my quote. ☕

Well, there's actually a whole group here specifically assigned to this task, isn't there?

What, am I supposed to start forgetting everything on Reddit?
...maybe the echo of my cries will be heard from here too

Listen to the cry of someone being driven insane because they have to wait between searches, listen to the cry of someone who apparently wants something that even I haven't figured out yet... you people are truly exhausting me. 🙂

Olivia Sullivan68 said:...maybe my cries can be heard from over here too

They'll be heard. Don't worry about it.👍

Since I can hear the echoes of your husband yelling "where is that damn lunch!" all the way over here, people on Reddit are definitely hearing your cries too.
