Let's discus about this FAQ http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq24.aspx especially on third question. Our account will be canceled without warning and we’ll forfeit all of our earnings if we abusing mylot search feature. We have to use myLot Search in a normal, natural way, and we will be fine.
I don't understand with this. Since I knew that we may get reward by using Mylot Search, I prefer to use Mylot Search rather than Google to perform search. I don't understand what kind of abusing mean here. If I use Mylot Search very often, and I get reward for that activity that result in my earning increasing, am I abusing the feature?

I would like to give my opinion or should I say "answer" to your question, "If I use Mylot Search very often, and I get reward for that activity that result in my earning increasing, am I abusing the feature?"...
Well, I am one of those who use MyLot Search too often. I use it while researching and studying things that I want to know, like I am a pharmacist, I research a lot about new medicines being launched in the market. Along the way, while using MyLot Search, I am rewarded with MyLot Cash Reward.
In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with using MyLot search engine regularly as long as your primary objective is to search for information and not just to earn MyLot Cash Reward.
Now, if you are using MyLot search so frequently and you earn cash reward regularly in doing that, I suggest, in order not to be labeled "abusing", once you have received your cash reward, stop using the search tool and resume the next day. If you persist on using it (on same day), the system will suspect you are abusing the search tool, and you will receive a warning message from the admin.
For the veterans of MyLot, pls. correct me if I am wrong with my opinion. This is just my opinion. And I want to learn from you as well.

That says it perfectly! 
Searching for information is what it is there for.
Searching just to get a reward is abusing it.

i want to add something in this box, please permit me to do so.
i had experienced being suspected of abusing the mylot search twice, as i can remember well. those where the times that my connection failed after i got the message that i was rewarded. so i refreshed the page, the mylot search, and it popped out the message. so i presume that the system will suspect an abuse if we already got rewarded with say, "pranking" keyword search, and assuming you want another reward and tried to make another search of the same keyword "pranking". if we will put "pranking" as a reward point, and we want to get another reward from the reward point, it will be an abuse that the system may suspect.
anyway, this i believe is not true to the system, to mylot. i just thought about it as i experienced it twice, unintentionally.

Maybe searching too much can't be treated as abusing. There are some situation can be considered as abusing like search the same keyword once after once just for reward, too short time gap between two searches so you obviously didn't read the results, even write a program to search automatically... These should be abuse.

Yes, I see. I can understand little bit now. I've never use any program to search automatically. I do search in one topic for many times using diferent keyword in other to get many sources. But I do it very often. In a day, I could get rewarded twice and up to 14 cents for every reward. In average, I get reward about 22 cents daily from using Mylot Search. Do you think I am abusing Mylot Search?

Hi toya!.
I am not every day use mylot search like you. I only use it when I looked something to help to answer to discussion or to search on topic that I really needed.
I think It will not abusing if we really open the page and stay there for a minute or two.

I take this to mean that if a member just sits at the computer putting search item after search item into the box simply to generate earnings their accounts will be cancelled.
The search bar will help you to find if discussions have been started on topics you wish to start etc but should NOT be abused in the way I quoted.
