In guideline there's one place mentioned search engine should not be abused. Maybe you searched too frequently, so the system suspected you of cheating searching reward. I think you'd better not to seach too frequently

Generic warning symbol. - A generic warning sybol to safeguard all users and to prevent abuse of the system. Always heed a warning sign, no matter where it is in life, it is for your own good.
This is exactly correct. myLot rewards you from time to time for using there search bar, ususally about 6 or 7 cents, which is always a nice bonus for the day. Obviously myLot has to protect itself from people just spending there entire time here searching random topics for no good reason other than to gain the rewards. I have had the warning sign flash up several times before, at the bottom of the warning it simple says try your search again later. Best practise is not to use the search engine for a good few hours, and not to over use it. It's just a safeguard for myLot, I clever idea I think. Have fun.

It happened to me once. Now i just leave it, i don't have the patients for it. A lot of the other members had the same problem. Honestly, i have no idea if you should try it again. You won't get banned, it isn't your fault. Maybe you should wait a while, okay. TATA.

I think you did too many searches through Mylot search bar.Some users try to earn with search bar by doing quick searches which are fake.This warning doesn't mean that you'll be banned immediately if you perform a search again,but be careful with number and intervals of your searches.
