Dear valued members,
We would like to inform you that access to the site's Search function has been restricted to registered members.
This change does not affect logged-in registered users, but only guests browsing the site. Over the past few weeks and months, malicious bots have been flooding the search form with hundreds of queries per minute, placing unnecessary strain on the server and database.
We have therefore decided to restrict search access to stop this abuse, even though this means guests will no longer be able to search the site.
Guests are welcome to register if they would like to use the Search function.
