I doubt all 200 students will be making concurrent searches.
I can easily imagine a scenario where 200 students in a large lecture classroom might be instructed to open their laptops, go to Wikipedia, and search for a particular topic at the same time. Similar to how teachers [used to] say "now everyone in the class turn to Chapter 8...".
If that is indeed what we're talking about here, it will be disruptive.

This will bring such a idea to a screeching halt. Any kind of shared IPs will be unable to search

200-student classes to search for a particular topic and its related articles on Wikipedia?

In a few hours a patch will be going out which limits the number of concurrent searches a single user will be able to make to 5. This
applies
to logged in and anonymous users. The failure message is `You have too many concurrent searches running. If you are sharing an IP address
with
other users you can log in to get your own limits.` for anonymous
users,
or
just `You have too many concurrent searches running.` for logged in
users.
These are the `cirrussearch-too-busy-for-you-anonymous-error` and `cirrussearch-too-busy-for-you-logged-in-error` i18n messages.
I will be monitoring the logs when this goes out, and intermittently throughout the week as well. If necessary we will whitelist certain ip ranges that seem to be shared among large numbers of users.
