Didn’t the maximum search time used to be infinite?

Yeah, it was infinite, maybe this was changed because of SF19?

It's actually unrelated to SF19.

If only goes up to 30s now when your browser reports you're on an iOS or Android device. You can tap the + button on the eval bar to go infinite if you need to.

This compromise aims to make the slider a bit more accurate for touch drags by reducing the number of ticks. Tablets and Chromebooks sort of got lumped in with phones, so further tweaks can be made if this is a problem.

Another option would be to replace sliders there with a more mobile friendly control. If a significant number of mobile users actually want 60+ second searches on every move, that could be considered.

Yeah I was stumped recently too but @gamblej was quite helpful in another thread.

Switching the lichess tab to desktop mode is the way to go if you don't want to keep clicking on the plus button.

Laptops running macOS and Windows are unrestricted.

Find that button I was talking about here:
