The effectiveness of filters will depend upon how they are implemented.

For example, if filters are an integral part of the search query then your search is bound to be more effective, at the moment any search that you do is swamped with fake results.

Size filters here will give you a better, truer result and, as you know Hobo, the fake file makers have revolving IP addresses so that even if you put them in your block list they still swamp your search query, I know because I have tried to block them as well.

Next, if a simple form of filtering is implements, like Phex, i.e. after the search is completed the size filter is applied, then users will not accidentally infect their PCs with worms or viruses.

I'm sure that you guys, like myself, have accidentally downloaded these small files, they download so quickly that they are on your PC in the blink of an eye.

Either way, putting filters in LW is a win win situation.
