What is the purpose of the time delay with searches?

Tech Support (Parent and Student Access)/What is the purpose of the time delay with searches?
Sometimes when I'm frustrated by something, understanding the purpose helps me to accept it and move on. With a job I once had, I had to remind myself when I encountered what seemed to me to be a pointless rule someone had most likely paid for it with his life.

So...why is there a mandatory 30 second delay between searches? I encounter this frequently because I may use a word which comes up empty and I want to tweak it to try again. But then I have to wait 8 seconds or 2 seconds or 15 seconds until I search again.

Something else I encountered had a delay, but it only happened once. Right now I cannot seem to remember what it was.

I'm sorry if this comes across as, "Wah, wah, wah." I'm sure it does. I just want to understand, and after my many-eth time of asking myself, "I wonder why it does that?" I thought I would ask.

(I might have meant, "Wha, wha, wha." I'm not sure which is correct.)

Gratefully,
Dawn, Georgia
