Cool

Hello!

When someone perform a search they send out a Query Message that are broadcasted over the network and some of them will pass your node(servent) these are the ones that you are seeing.It does not reflect that they have searched your specific HD just that those are the searches that have gone trough your node.However since the introduction of the UltraPeers you do not see as many as you used to do before them now days the UltraPeers will absorb most of the traffic.If a Query that goes trough your node matched something in your Library/Database then your servent will reply with a QueryHit message/response that will be sent to that person who originally generated the Query message.

And yes you are correct there are some really sick people out there that do need help!
