First off, you'll get more search results if you wait a while before you search. So when you start Limewire, waiting about 5 or 10 minutes to really allow limewire to get into the network is a good idea.

In addition, Limewire's searching protocols try to bring only search results that very closely match your search parameterse.

For example, if you search "Artist - Song", it won't give you every darn song that artist recorded, but instead will only try to find all the search terms. Hope that helps you.
