Quick search make requests for each typed character in some cases, causing 403 errors

Reproduction steps:

  1. Open the quick search input while being in a category
  2. Click on the “in this category” option
  3. Type a few letters
  4. There is a search query performed for each character typed with no waiting time, leading to a 403 error

It seems to happen more when unregistered, maybe because of a different rate limit.

Notes: It doesn’t happen if you write the #categoryname manually, and after you delete your search query input to perform another search.

Additionally, no space is added after the category name when we click the “in this category” option, which requires us to add a space by ourselves. I can’t add additional picture as a new user.
