Try Google instead. Enter:
something you want to find site:bbs.archlinux.org

This has nothing to do with the search interval issue.

And does Google really need to know everything? And what is the forums'
search function for?

It's just a (very effective) workaround with the added benefit of utilizing
google's servers rather than arch's.

This discussion probably belongs more in the forums itself (forum and wiki
discussion sub-forum) though, since it is about the forum. The forum admin
is currently occupied with RL last I heard so not sure how fast a reply
you'd get

@Heiko,
While I agree with your concern regarding google I don't think an arch forum search reveals too much sensitive (personal) info or any at all. And in this case there's the additional benefit as mentioned above that google search doesn't cause additional server load. Actually in my early days I tried to use forum search, too but then realized the issue you faced and also found that google would give me better hits.
