Hey Bart, I'd like to tell you to drop the search timeout down to 25 or 30 seconds instead of 45.
(Is this the default ?)
30 seconds gives enough time to peruse the results and revamp the search query if the results a person is looking for are not extant.
I understand the security considerations for the timeout, but if a person is looking for a thread, or a phrase, that timeout is annoying as hell.
It's just a bit too long.
UX, buddy.
Oh, and check this out:
