Remove this stupid search verificartion string for registered members!

Because they look for key words like cell phone and the like to see if its worthwhile to register and post.

It also stops the bots from searching for hot topics sometimes 100's of searches a minute bringing the whole forums to its knees.

It looks to me like it's stopping regular users instead. With the 30 second timeout no single bot can hit 100 searches a minute.

Also they have no need to use the forum search, they can crawl the forum directly.
