IMO, the problem with the search is that it gives the results in the left-hand frame. This might make perfect sense in a fully-framed window. But if I want to search but keep my current position, I cannot just open a page link in a new tab/window, because if I search the results aren't displayed. :(
Wow, you're mean and nasty, and here I am agreeing with you. I don't like that they are in the left frame. It seems cramped.
Matt, more info might be useful, or somehow combining results from the same thread? If I search for something and it's in the same thread multiple times it might take up the whole first page of results.

Oh OK, so it's just that I don't know how to properly use it. Story of my life, and once again ignore the stupid American. I should put that in my signature. :-/

No, I haven't tried much other than cussing at it at this point. It's a VM and the hypervisor is running fine. And so does the server until it doesn't. Nothing special in the event viewer either. So I'm thinking of just converting it to a physical machine and seeing if that might help.

Reminds me of a strange problem we've got with an aging server at work - the things works fine for weeks, then will go into a bizarre hibernate state, where the server's powered up, but the disks go offline - only thing that brings it back online is taking the power lead out of the PSU, plugging it back and firing it up again. :-/
So, perhaps the search could force a left frame where there isn't one, or put the results in the available window. Or perhaps links opened in a new tab could open a frameset like messages (thanks Ant, I didn't know that!)
The time limit between searches is /really/ frustrating from a user point of view. Like if I forget to set an option (like group by thread) or if no results are returned or I just want to refine it a bit. I generally just say fuck it and go to google when that happens. Which is a shame because the search works really well these days.
Could you perhaps allow say 3 searches before the time thing kicks in?
