Is it just a blank search screen with no results, or is the whole page grey & weird looking??
If it's just a normal looking search page with no results, check that your LW's fully connected (all green or blue connection bars). If LW's connected, try the fixes below:

1. In LW go tools > options > searching > basic & check whether the 'show license warning' box is ticked. If it does, untick it > Apply > ok...see if that makes any difference.

2. Problems with the search

3. Delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location).
Fixes for LimeWire
This will kill all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things.
