Question "A Search By Any Other Name"

I purchased Limewire Pro a few days ago and have had great success downloading and sharing. My problem is trying to get searches to work the way they are "intended?". Take the following examples:

If I select "VIDEOS"
and then "MUSIC VIDEOS" and do a search, I get the available listing of music videos, by a variety of performers.

Okay...

So, I want only one performer, lets say Edit , so I:

Select "VIDEOS"
then "MUSIC VIDEOS"
and under "more search options", under the STARS category, I type Edit results? The exact same as the first search, as if I hadn't put a name under STARS at all.

What it boils down to is this: No matter what I put for "more search options", if I have selected "VIDEOS" as the type of media, and "MUSIC VIDEOS" as type of Videos I want, whether it be a Star, a Producer, or a Studio, my results list comes back as if I had only selected "VIDEOS" and "MUSIC VIDEOS".

Now if I only select "VIDEOS" and then under "more search options" put Edit, and do NOT select "MUSIC VIDEOS", I get only videos with Edit, however the results list is NOT limited to Music Videos. grrrrrrrr

To make matters worse, I want to get Music Videos by Edit. Now I'm really asking for it... no matter how I set up the search .. all I get is adult star Edit results back. I can put in VIDEOS, MUSIC VIDEOS, Edit as Edit(but see problem 1, I get all the music videos by any performer that are available to my connections), but if I put just "Videos" and Edit under Edit I get yep.., you got it Edit in 80 different flavors... but Not One EditTHE SINGER selection to download.

So 2 probs... 1) why is my "more selection criteria" ignored when I use "VIDEOS", "MUSIC VIDEOS" and 2) how do I search for the SINGER Edit and hope to get some of her music videos to show up in the list.. along with .. yep 80 flavors of Edit or another?
