Here are some possible solutions to my two suggestions:

1. Make the search field a combined text box and drop down box much like the address field in Internet Explorer. You can then enter your search phrase in the text box or select one of your previous searches from the drop down list. This is so obvious I don’t know why it wasn’t implemented in Napster a long time ago. In Internet Explorer you can even choose to delete individual phrases from the drop down list to avoid it getting filled with unwanted phrases.

2. On the Library tab, put a Resume Download button next to each file in the Incomplete folder which performs a search for files with the same name and size and tries to download it. I see that TruStarwarrior is suggesting something similar in another resent thread.

This might not be the ultimate solution, but it should be fairly easy to implement and will make LimeWire much easier to use while an even more advanced and automated solution to finding and downloading files is developed.
