I don't know if I asked the right question, but yeah like what I said, I use the search bar here in mylot to complete tasks also here in mylot. Sharonbucks usually gives out tasks on writing some good articles and she has this list of specific keywords that needs to be used in those articles. Since I need to research before I write, I will search for it using the mylot search bar. I received rewards yesterday because of that. I'm just worried that mylot might say that I am abusing the system or the search bar, but I'm not. I still make sure to create quality discussions and still replies and comments to other users' discussions. In short, I try to make use all possible things that can be done here in mylot. I enjoy commenting on discussions that interest me and also writing articles when a task for such is open. Hope anyone can answer me, or perhaps, Alice or anyone from mylot can answer, so that I know what to do or to avoid next time. I have reached my first payout and I'm afraid to lose all my earnings. I have been registered here since last year and still enjoying until now. Now please do tell me, am I abusing the search bar? Your thoughts please. Thanks.

No, you are using the system exactly as it is intended to be used! It is true that you may receive the occasional message when using the Search Bar to say that it has 'detected suspicious activity'. If you search too fast, don't look at the results or maybe use the same search terms too often (nobody but MyLot knows the exact criteria) the software will detect it and give a warning. I think one shouldn't be too worried about the occasional warning like this.

Thanks for the uplift! So far I haven't received any warnings or alert like that. I hope I don't get one! Only myLot knows the exact criteria, that's why I hope they see my discussion and could probably comment on it.

I also use mylot search bar also in writing sharonbuck writing tasks. I don't think its abusing mylot search bar. Although sometimes if the system detects that you have been using rather very often the search bar it gives out a warning prompt. What I usually do is just stop using the search bar for a while and then resumes until it stops coming out with the prompt. I think there is nothing wrong with using the search bar while doing the task because it is a legitimate search we are doing.

Yeah that's what I thought too. A search bar is used to search for something. I am utilizing it effectively. Thanks!
