Thanks for suggestion, but I don't see how it can be used since the number of search results is usually below 50, and always less than 100. The problem with my forum is that users click on "New posts" link too often.

A solution for you may be similar to the code modification posted here:

My hoster reports high CPU load generated by my forum. It seems that most of the load is due to frequent use of "New posts" link.

There is an option called "Search flood interval" in the Groups admin panel, however this parameter does not affect the use of "New posts" (and "Active posts") link, which basically means that if guest search is allowed (and I'd like to keep that in my forum), a guest can overload CPU by repeated use of "Active posts" link.

It seems to me that "Search flood interval" parameter should affect all search functions, rather than "regular" forum Search only.
