Default Time limit between searches seems excessive

Often when I search for an old thread it takes a few attempts to use the right keywords. However, after each attempt I get a message like "You are only permitted one search every 90 seconds. You may attempt another search in 72 seconds".

At which point you just have to there and wait for 72 seconds. I assume this is to stop some sort of abuse, but wouldn't a 15 or 30 second period be enough?

Hmmm, I get a 45 second wait. IMHO 15 seconds is more than enough time.

Wow, I just noticed that it is 90 seconds. Makes it pretty tough to sit down and find something on the fly. It usually takes me 5 searchs to zero in on what I want. 7:30 minutes to do 20 seconds worth of searching, ouch.

Exactly. Well, let's wait and see what John D thinks.
