decrease search cache time

[hescominsoon]

Right now it appears the search is cached for 15 minutes. I want to eliminate this cache. How can i do so?

Disabling the cache completely requires custom code. If you have some coding ability then you can post on www.vbulletin.org for help with this.

Searches are cached for one hour by default. You can reduce the cache duration by editing this file:

includes/cron/cleanup.php

The people on www.vbulletin.org can help with specific code.

I know this is an old thread, but it came up in my search efforts and is relevant to a current question I've posted. I looked in includes/cron/cleanup.php for vB 4.1.3 and there isn't anything there for search cache. Maybe it's been moved?

It's been moved to /vb/search/results.php (line 182):

 public static function clean()
	{
  global $vbulletin;
  //searches expire after one hour
  $vbulletin->db->query_write("
   DELETE FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "searchlog
   WHERE dateline < " . (TIMENOW - 3600) . "
  ");
	}
