I am searching Scour for some days now. When I make a search it counts. But when I wait and make a second search, it does not get counted. When I make the third search then it gets counted again. Why does it happen like this? I am missing my searches.

Most probably they have instituted a checking mechanism to avoid massive cheating. This is not to say that they can effectively block all cheating activities because cheaters tend to be creative in finding loopholes. Previous techniques include repeatedly pressing the 'Enter' button.
As members we should be grateful that there are checks being made. In this case it seems to be based on time. Surely we do not want Scour to fall due to cheaters' activities like what happened to other sites like SlashMySEarch, and to a certain extent myhomepagesfriends.
A slow earning rate is better than losing everything.
all the best,

yea scour has its how mechanism for dedecting seachs that are ot legit. if you search too many times in a row it wont count, also if you use the same phrase at the end of sentence at each search, it wont be counted, have a look at the terms and conditons at scours website.
