"Autolinking" in searches

[(makeup)]

Well now that fourth gen is pretty much over, I don't think searching for a Pokemon should link you to the Pokemon's page (until fifth gen is added of course). Until smogon gets all of fifth gen sorted, I think it would be a good idea to remove Autolinking (for a lack of a better name) and just show all the results for the search.

do a forum search if you want to find a pokemons name in threads.

There's that annoying 30 second lag, which is bad if you mistype or something. I'm not complaining, only pointing out a fact. I couldn't care less either way, its a simple matter to type "infernape (pokemon)" or "infernape OU" both of which give a link to the threads OP is referring too.

Umm...yeah, I realize you can do that.

I don't get any lag :/
Also, for me, it only links you to the Pokemon's name if you type it spelled pefectly. Weird.

If you make a search and then try to make another within 30 seconds, Smogon will not let you.

My other point was that if you don't want to be autolinked to the 4th gen page, add additional tags in your custom Google search.

If you type "site:smogon.com/forums/ infernape" instead of "infernape" in the search bar, you'll get forum results. It takes literally 2 seconds longer.
