Forum search cooldown time
I started using the forum search engine after finding out that google mainly lists replies to my questions in the archived, uneditable forums. That lead me to major frustration because there is a 30? second cooldown on the search for unregistered users. That did not work for me. Can you reduce that time to five seconds, please?
Re: Forum search cooldown time
The built-in phpBB forum search engine doesn't cover the archived forums, for all what I know. But if you want to continue one of the archived discussions, open a new topic and link to the old topic.
I think the cooldown is high(er) for new users, for anti-spam reasons - but you can use the google-based forum custom search and filter for the active forums or archived forums, if you want to do forum-specific searches without cooldown:

Uhh, nice. I don't know how a ~30 seconds cooldown on the current forum will prevent spam, though (unregistered users). If you want to counter-measure DDOS five seconds should be fine (not mentioning we don't even need search for DDOS), and it will be less likely to intervene with unregistered guest's searches.gregster wrote: ↑29 Dec 2020, 06:28search[/url] and filter for the active forums or archived forums, if you want to do forum-specific searches without cooldown:

I fell below 30 seconds very often when I used this forum's search engine.

About the ahk search page, I noticed today that the logo was blurry on my higher-res screen and there were ads too. So I took the liberty of upgrading the logo to the SVG one and added a display: none !important on the google search ads.

Cool, thank you!
I also noticed the ads - and thought that they weren't shown until recently (or perhaps had been previously blocked by my adblocker). But now they are gone again. Very good!
