Look, I'm immeasurably grateful that FA has a search feature now, but do we really need the little extras that have been attached to it from an Internet phenomenon now so tired that even the mainstream media has picked up on it?

As you may have noticed, if you make too many requests to it at once - by inadvertently clicking the Submit button twice, or through paging too fast (something that you might likely do, as the form has to be resubmitted if you go back to the page after leaving it) then you're whisked away to the Rickroll video. I can understand it needs protection from hammering, but from that infernal video, you'll have to go back and resubmit the form and re-page through the results to see where you were, all the time remembering not to click too fast in case it blows up again.

And just in case you never experience that, occasionally a search result's thumbnail will be replaced with this hilarious variant. Maybe it's funny once... maybe, but these 'features' are baffling - it's as if the site coders have said "Yes, we're going to implement something that has been requested for years, but we're going to poke you in the side with a pencil every ten seconds if you use it".

I am aware that, as a collective, we as the users are a bunch of whining bastards. But I get the distinct feeling they would find people who are more grateful if this pointlessness was left off.
