They do seem to work pretty well. Thank you for them. I accidentally hit a protection earlier today while searching past pages of my comments for something I had written long ago. Sorry about that.
I would load a page of my comments, do a search on the page for the text I recalled writing in a comment a long time ago and see if I hit any results, get no hits and then go to the next page a few seconds later. I started to go a little too quickly (~2-5 seconds before jumping to the next comment page) and I got temp-banned from poal for maybe 15 minutes or something. Just going to make sure to count to 10 now before going to the next comment page if/when I need to search my comment history for something (at least until I hit a level on Poal where I gain the ability to do a proper search of my own comments on-site for things I've written).
