    Why am I told that I have to wait 15 seconds in between searches when it is a new search. I have searched nothing previously.......

    Wait 15. - selecting from drop down list and pressing go button.

    Yesterday a false "no matches" for "itv"
    I will try pressing enter in future see if that helps.
    Update: tried typing search term and pressing enter button instead of clicking go button. = Wait 15.

    Is this browser related? I'm having no issues in Opera 12.17 but as soon as I switch to firefox, I immediately get a false 'no matches' message, followed by a wait 14 seconds message.

    I'm using Chrome and getting problems. Only did about 5 searches yesterday but only had 2 first time successes. Had one false no match and 2 wait 15 seconds on first search.

    I would suspect more server side. vBulletin search has always been a bit flaky, and the custom set up here does not help.
