Cool. I didn't know that. It lets me verify that the URL filter does indeed work for omitting certain IP addresses from a search.

I see lots of them. However, my version of LimeWire (2.3.3 Pro) does recognize private IP addresses, because 192.168.x.x, 0.0.0.0, and 10.x.x.x all appear in red.

Possibly. For now, I just look for the red IP addresses and add them one at a time to my filters. It's tedious, but goes a long way to reducing the 'bad' search results.
I see a bug though. LimeWire displayed 172.25.150.168 in red. According to RFC 1918, the local range should only include 172.16.*. Maybe there's a newer RFC I'm not aware of.
