    Complete Can we remove the delay between searches for supporter accounts?

    Back in the day, I believe one of the benefits of being a supporter was there being no delay between searches. I could be wrong, and even if I am, I'd still propose the change, anyway. Of course, I understand the need for controlling the rate at which users can search the site, in order to prevent the servers from being rammed with bot activity, but I don't think there's any harm to be had in allowing supporters unrestricted searching.

    When the first search doesn't yield the results you need, it seems to be an unnecessary inconvenience to me. And, after throwing the thought around in the Slack chat, there appear to be others who share this opinion. So, is this something that can be changed, please?

    I found the option where we can disable non-registered users from searching the site. Search isn't really a feature scraper bots use to the best of my knowledge. I can reduce the search query time.

    Thanks for bringing this concern forward.

    I've made modifications. Unregistered users can no longer search. If you have an account you can do so every 15 seconds.
