I just tried doing a search on this website and accidentally typed the search term wrong. So I naturally fixed the typo and tried to search again to get the error message saying I had to wait 20 seconds to search again.
In essence I had to wait 20 seconds to fix a typo.
 I can understand the purpose of the wait, but I think it should be structured something like this:
First search: immediate
Second search: immediate (in case the reason for doing it again is a typo)
Third & more search: 20 second wait ------------- http://www.wistex.com" rel="nofollow - WisTex Solutions http://www.caribbeanchoice.com/forums" rel="nofollow - CaribbeanChoice Forums |

You can chnage this to a lesser amount if required. It's done so that spammers, search engines, etc. don't overload the server by submitting the form and running lost of search on the database. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |
