Explain. scottf 19-01-2005, 14:21 i don't know - its probably not to overstretch the use of the server. beansfeast 19-01-2005, 14:40 Disgusting! You tried to do 2 searches within 15 secs - just WHO do you think you are!? :P :P :P t020 19-01-2005, 14:43 I'm not sure why that happens but I suppose searching must consume a lot of bandwidth, and it's probably a pre-defined limit in the forum software. What I find more annoying is that clicking the search results takes you to the thread and not the specific post, so if you're looking for a specific post and it's within a 25 page thread it can be VERY time consuming. scottf 19-01-2005, 14:48 Originally posted by t020 I'm not sure why that happens but I suppose searching must consume a lot of bandwidth, and it's probably a pre-defined limit in the forum software.

No I mean from using the Search site function. Case in point being: I wanted to drag up a comment by nick2 to make a jokey remark, and I knew it was about mortgage and was by nick2, so I searched for that criteria and got the results: http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/search.php?s=&action=showresults&searchid=277362&sortby=lastpost&sortorder=descending I then remembered it was in the Gay Scene thread, so clicked the link as shown above only to be greeted with page 1 of 24! It took many pages of scrolling carefully, scanning with my eyes, to find the actual post I wanted. venger 19-01-2005, 15:06 Originally posted by JonJParr "Sorry!

So get with the proram. ;) Strix 19-01-2005, 17:11 Is it to stop external software from 'searching'? :suspect: max 19-01-2005, 17:25 Originally posted by t020 I'm not sure why that happens but I suppose searching must consume a lot of bandwidth, and it's probably a pre-defined limit in the forum software.

Try selecting 'show results as posts' rather than threads. Strix 19-01-2005, 17:33 Thanks Max. I thought that only applied to stuff entered in the box it's near. That'll save me loads of pointless searching! :thumbsup: t020 19-01-2005, 17:49 Originally posted by max Try selecting 'show results as posts' rather than threads.
