Why can I not use search at this time?

Postby Scrivet » Wed Oct 08, 2014 9:37 pm

I'm getting aggravated at seeing this message practically every time I go to search;

Sorry but you cannot use search at this time. Please try again in a few minutes.

Can someone please tell me what's going on or how to fix it?

No, but I have found that if you wait 3 or 4 minutes it works. I see it when I first try to search.

I found it will give me that message if I click a second time before it gives me my results. But that is normal for it to do that. Can't say what causes you to get the message.
There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

The search delay setting was set to a 30 second delay between searches. The reason for the delay is the database (forum) is quite large and searches (especially multiple people searching at the same time), puts a large load on the server.

Now, I've set the delay to 15 seconds. I will be monitoring the server and if I note excessive loads again, I'll need to move that delay setting higher. (Note: The forum search is restricted to words that are 3 or more letters in length and no more than 8 words.); the Google search box on the header has no restrictions, although Google throws out any single letters such as 'a", "I", etc...

when I would click the view your posts button, then put something in the search forum is when I would see it. I guess it considers the View your Posts as a search function also.

Thanks Dennis, the thirty second delay makes sense. I just didn't know about it. So repetitively trying to do a search just kept resetting my 30 second clock. DOOH! Nice to know about the three letter search also. I thought it was four and always tried a way around "PTO xxxxxxxx" searches trying not to use PTO.

Jeff, if you need to search a three letter word you can use the wild card. Just type pto* and enter that.
