Who can guarantee users will find what they want on the first try?  Having a throttling feature is fine, but 15 seconds is completely annoying!  1 or 2 seconds, I can see as it requires that someone bother to read the results before trying again. 

Anyway, how do I turn it off or change the time value?

That’s general throttling. For the search, you need to adjust “Search Privileges” on a per-group basis at Admin > Members and Groups > Member Groups.

That appears to be general throttling.  I’m looking to allow search using the search field more often without that ‘You can only search once every 15 seconds’ thing appearing.

You are only allowed to search every 15 seconds.

I have this same issue i can set it for everybody expect super admins.

Please see my edited posting above. Yes, that was general throttling.

So does this mean that people have to log in (i.e., identify themselves as being part of some group or another) to be exempt from this?  Can I change the global value for anyone viewing the site (that is not logged in, and hence I don’t know their group)?

Thanks for the fast replies by the way!

You can simply change the permissions for the Guest group (= everybody not logged in).

sweet!

fixed!

thanks muchly!

No worries 😊
