What Norm says is that there are filters in the new versions of LW that allow you to see among the results only the ones that you want. To be more specific, say that there is a band called X (which you are looking for) and multiple songs containing X in their filenames. Running a search for artist X will come up with all kinds of different results like the ones you get. That's where the filters come in. Clicking at the available options in the filters at the left of the page will prompt LW to display in the results window only the ones that meet the criteria. For example, you get some X results for artist and some Y results for album (which here is an album by X). You can choose to see only results from the album Y or only results from artist X.
This is kind of a countermeasure IMO for all those badly named files out there or for all those files that got all kinds of keywords crammed in their filenames to make them appear in more searches. It's not Limewire's fault for all those bad filenames or those wrong results. It's the users'.
I recommend going through the "trouble" of Google Searching discography by artist "whatever you want" and then searching the individual songs in LW so that you will get waaaaaaay more specific results.
