When you search for someone's posts, and you go to next page of their posts, you'll get "Sorry but you cannot use search at this time. Please try again in a few minutes."
I don't believe this is intended.
Search function has been broken for a long time.

Yep. Also sent a message to Ryoko about it. It's just annoying and it takes a while to find posts.
For example if I search for your posts, and go to page 2, you'll get the error.

It has always been like that. xDVortexx wrote:you'll get "Sorry but you cannot use search at this time. Please try again in a few minutes."
Well, Just make sure to "wait a few minutes" between each search.

But I don't recall it being like that with other searches when logged in.
Re: Search function has been broken for a long time.
It works fine for my account, but on a test account I am encountering the same problem.
However, if you click on next page, and press return when you get the error, and click on next page again, it will work.
It's workaround, and I apologise for the fact that's the best I can offer you right now, but this sort of things are not on my tasks list.
Which is why I'd abandon all hope for a future fix.
SRF is running on its last legs.

I believe this all has to do with search flood interval limits. Really though, its 5s. Which means to hit this error, your clicking to other pages within the 5s limit. I've reduced it a little bit; let me know if you see any difference.
For a guest account, its some 30s.
The reason I don't see it on my account (Nor would any admin) is because we ignore the flood limits on the board.
