I don't know how many users encounter this, but it is really annoying.

It's so the servers don't overload. Although different servers now so maybe it can be reduced.

Most of the time I don't actually sit and count 5 secs. Sometimes I hit search again and it is too early.
That's 10+ seconds I could spend on something else instead of staring at my monitor with frustration.
I would not post this here if it did not bug me for past year.

It doesn't reset back to 5 if you hit it early. It's just 5 seconds, which is better than having the site go down because some script kiddie decides to make a bot to overload the site using the search function.

Ah Yeah I wonder what would happen if it was removed? Perhaps they really don't need it anymore with these new servers. The site doesn't lag.. like those dark laggy days :o

Now I'm just curious if it would actually make two different searches or if it just makes one.

Behold of my awesomeness~
controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted.
But my feels.

The problem is that, as @Syrup- mentioned above, someone could purposefully (or accidentally, I guess) implement something that overloads the server by searching too much. Searching is a relatively expensive operation.

Simply wait 5 seconds. I hate to say but I think you're over reacting.

My life span is small too.
As Syrup- said. It is to prevent the site from getting overloaded. Even this "5 seconds" have it's important reason behind.

Seriously though, it's not that big deal, but I wouldn't object.

I respect your opinion as long as you respect mine.
