120 second cooldown for searches

I just wanted to voice my opinion that this is a bit of an annoyance. I'm not quite sure if it's temporary until the new servers are in (hope so), but if not I just wanted to create a thread to get everyone's opinions.

It's very restricting, if I happen to want to do a followup search I have to wait 2 minutes for the timer to count down. And in many cases I'm not exactly sure which combination of words will provide me with the results I'm looking for so it could be 4-5 searches until I find what I need and 10 minutes just is more time than I'm willing to spend.

So I'm just putting this out there for discussion and maybe a comment on whether this is a permanent change or not.

Yes, we turned up the number during very high traffic periods. Should be back to normal soon.
