It would be nice if, after someone searched for something, attempting to search for that something again would not work to prevent Banchospamming. That is to say:

<awp> !search READY STEADY
<BanchoBot> READY STEADY GO - ZZT
<BanchoBot> READY STEADY GO - other person1
<BanchoBot> Ready Steady Go - person2
<BanchoBot> READY STEADY GO - whatsup
<BanchoBot> READY STEADY GO - lol
<BanchoBot> Search returned results 1-5 of 314159

<awp> !search READY STEADY
<BanchoBot> leave me alone; scroll up

because idk
A: some people like to search the same thing multiple times (this obviously just happened hence the motivation to post)
B: someone might say "hey is there any ______ maps" and then two or three people might type !search _________ for them and oh no spam

Hmm, but only for a limited time or some other condition? If someone did a search 4 hours ago with no more searches in between, we don't want to tell a person to scroll up. Or what if a person just signed in? They won't have the chat log.

btw added Banchospamming into glossary
