Find the option in vboptions - it's in Message Search Options > Minimum Time Between Searches. View the page source around it and the option name is right there several time (I highlighted a couple of them in red):

<tbody id="tbody_error_enablesearches" style="display:none"><tr><td class="alt1 smallfont" colspan="2"><div style="padding:4px; border:solid 1px red; background-color:white; color:black"><strong>Error</strong>:<div id="span_error_enablesearches">1</div></div></td></tr></tbody><tbody><tr valign="top">
    <td class="optiontitle" title="$vbulletin->options['searchfloodtime']" colspan="2"><div class="smallfont" style="float:right"> <a href="options.php?do=editsetting&amp;varname=searchfloodtime">[Edit]</a>  <a href="options.php?do=removesetting&amp;varname=searchfloodtime">[Delete]</a> </div><div>Minimum Time Between Searches<a name="searchfloodtime"></a></div></td>
</tr>
</tbody><tbody id="tbody_searchfloodtime">
<tr valign="top">
    <td class="alt1"><div class="smallfont"title="$vbulletin->options['searchfloodtime']">The minimum time (in seconds) that must expire before the user can perform a new search.<br />
<br />
Set this to 0 to allow users to search as frequently as they want.</div></td>
    <td class="alt1"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%"><tr valign="top"><td><div id="ctrl_setting[searchfloodtime]"><input type="text" class="bginput" name="setting[searchfloodtime]" id="it_setting[searchfloodtime]_275" value="20" size="40" dir="ltr" tabindex="1" title="name=&quot;setting[searchfloodtime]&quot;" /></div></td><td align="right" style="padding-left:4px"><a class="helplink" href="#" onclick="js_open_help('options', 'options', 'searchfloodtime'); return false;"><img src="../cpstyles/vbtech/cp_help.gif" alt="" border="0" title="Click for help on this option" /></a> </td></tr></table></td>
