This has probably been posted before, but due to the setup on the search engine, I cannot find it. So here it goes.
I have two main problems with the search tool.
1. The required "wait 30 seconds between searches", to me, is just plain ridiculous and stupid. Of course, there may be something behind that (too many people searching, lag on the forums, ect.) that I don't know about. But having to wait for 30 seconds just to do another search is pointless to me. If someone could explain why that is, I would greatly appriciate it.
2. The "minimum search length." Whenever I try to search, I ALWAYS, without fail, get the error "could not search because (something about not having enough words in the search bar to)"
Both of these issues makes it very difficult to search the forums and I could find what I need much better if the search engine would work.
Edit: I'm sorry if i sound a bit harsh, but i am rather frustrated with the search.
