The forum search form requires the user to wait 30 seconds between searches. It is very frustrating to use when the first result returns no (relevant) hits.

Given how often users are directed to search the forum, it should be as useful as possible. Making it a frustrating experience reduces its utility. I understand that you have to balance the load on the server, but I hope that it can be decreased to 5 or 10 seconds, if not eliminated entirely.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't implement
Additional comments about closing:  Search in FlySpray is too crap to remove this limitation

I second this. Meanwhile the interval is increased to 60 seconds which is more than annoying. I would understand if it's restricted to every 10 or 15 seconds, but 60 seconds is definitely far too long.

At least 30 seconds have to pass between searches. Please wait a while and try searching again.

This is what I'm seeing and I measured - it's true.

I encounter this almost every time I search the bbs.
Maybe I want to add some additional keywords or take some out, or change my query a bit.
I think the general use of the search box is this: user rarely uses search box, but when he does, he searches 2-5x's in quick succession. It would be nice if the search reflected this.
How about limiting it to 5 queries every minute?

I seldom use the forum search, I use Google so I don't care ;P

Could someone, please, change Severity to a higher level? This is really annoying and a real waste of time if somebody needs to quickly search for a problem resp. its solution.

Solution: type "site:bbs.archlinux.org <keywords>" into google.

Better indexing, faster results, no timeout, no risk of our server keeling over because of the insane joins that FluxBB's built in search does.

search is very problematic in fluxbb.
