I personally feel the search -must- be available to users, you really can't respond to an ill-asked question with:
"Have you
Searched for the answer to your question?"
If you restrict the very way someone who
wants to learn, could effectively use this resource.
The anology would be akin to openning up a library, allowing people to come in, but not allow them to look around for books.
To me the most resource-intensive feature of this board is the evident continuing need to have to point the blind towards correctly searching for their answers. (Thank you for taking the time).
If you take away there ability to search? How can one expect them to see?
As far as loading the server by search requests...
We come from all countries,
all ends of this earth,
along an electronic medium,
travelling at the speed of light thru fiber,
joining us as one great nation,
time and distance showing limitless bounds
along its endless travel...
And I'm sitting at a breakpoint in the debugger looking at a stack trace ...
...so I got time to wait...
My 2 cents,
