It helps keep the load on the server down. Plus it also helps the site up. A known website attack (denial of service) is when an attacker uses the search feature as much as possible to bog down the server and eat up a lot of bandwidth. If there was no search limit, that type of attack can bring a server to its knees.

Using the 60 second limit almost eliminates this from happening. And as stated earlier it reduces the load on the server keeping faster service to everyone.
