As a newer Retro owner, I try to do the polite thing and search before asking

The problem is, the cooldown time on searches is frustratingly long (in my opinion).
On top of that, I'll hope back to the site after not being here for days, and I'm instantly greeted with another search timer cooldown.
Is there a reason for the strict cooldown? I actually own/operate 2 active motorcycle forums myself and have never found a need for cooldown limits like those in enforced here.
Wonder if anyone else experiences this?
