Panchdara Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 I am logged in, a, hopefully non-combative member (for many years). WHY do I have to wait 10 secs to ask for another SEARCH? Isn't that what the "search" feature is made for? We might ask duplicate questions, but perhaps it's because this forum restricts searches????

Pixey Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 The above behavior is not normal @Panchdara it must be a glitch for now.

Rle Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 I have always had that (logged in or not). The time depends on how fast you make a new search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otuncelli Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 There is an alternative search page. https://www.getpaint.net/search.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standard wait time between searches is actually 30 seconds. However, I just reduced this wait for Members (logged in users with 10+ posts).

BoltBait Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Searching is actually very taxing on the message board server. That's why we limit consecutive searches and have provided an alternate search method. 1 Quote Click to play: Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and how about a Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rle Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Thanks @BoltBaitfor the info. Then limiting the successive searches makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panchdara Posted October 3, 2022 Author Share Posted October 3, 2022 Many thanks all. I'll use the page that otuncelli states above. It's just that if you accidentally misspell a word, phrase or want to narrow the search, then it becomes tedious. I just don't want to ask a question that has been answered previously as it would take 5 mins to search for it in only 5 attempts to search.
