you can set a time limit between searches and creating new threads and posts

To slow down new posts being added..

vBulletin Options > Message Posting and Editing Options > Minimum Time Between Posts

And for searches:

vB Options > Message Searching Options > Minimum Time Between Searches

Those should prevent flooding of your board... to an extent.

Search and Today's Posts don't have anything to do with one another. I don't think there's a way to limit how many times someone goes to the Today's Posts link.

Have you banned the IPs that these floods are coming from?

If you are on 3.6.8, then the best solution would be to require CAPTCHA for guest searches (assuming your image settings are set to a more advanced CAPTCHA):

AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> Message Searching Options -> Guest Search Image Verification: Yes
