Problem with forum search function.

[Redglyph]

The search is one of the important features of a forum. I noticed this very annoying "bug" (because it's indeed unexpected behaviour), when searching.

 

- I enter the text to search, ended by RETURN (for example, "mosquito" in the "technical issues and bug reports" forum)

=> the website shows me several pages of results

- I don't see what I'm looking for on the first page, so I click "next"

=> the website tells me "Please wait 57 seconds before attempting another search"

I'm not expecting this because

- I'm not doing another search

- I need to see the next result pages, this is the normal use of a search function

I trick someone posted on the forum the other day that I did not know about was to use Google. If you structure your search as Site: Il2sturmovik.com "tank mods" (for example) it will search the entire site.

Every day a school day for me that one.

Sure, it's always possible to use an external search engine, but it would be easier to fix the forums.

I agree this search function is really bad

There's heaps of threads about this. Do a search.
