Searching issue
 

I have used LW for a long time and never had this issue until recently.

Whenever I go to search for something the window pops up and the search begins. But as I watch it there is constantly being items removed from the list and a 0/00 counter is displayed in the tab along with my search phrase.

Is this normal and how would I eliminate LW from clearing files out of my search window?

Also: Generally the items left in the window when the search completes all have 10 or less sources and are junk files anyway.

I'm not absolutely sure how the junk filter works, as I've never used it but I suspect all the files are being identified as junk, and if you go to Tools>options>filters>junk, you can alter the way so called junk is hidden or shown.

I hope this helps. It is also possible files that are not junk are being marked as junk, but it is fair to say that a great many files are junk, but a great many people do not seem to find the junk filter does a particullary accurate job. It will only do the job you "train" it to do ..roughly speaking:)

After reading my post again I noticed my additional info I threw in on the bottom could have caused some confusion. When I mentioned junk I merely was referring the the quality of the files left after the search.

But Only A Hobo your mention of junk filters did lead me to find the solution to my issue. I had it set to not show junk files. Now after switching it to either of the other two options my search function is back to normal.

Thanks.

No .. I realized what you meant :)

It would be interesting if you could tell us if you had "taught" the junk filter atall or adjusted the default settings.. I think that you had re-reading your post, and if you found the junk filter useful, or prefer to rely on your own instincts/experience when selecting a file for download

I actually just chose to have the junk filter show all files, with the "junk files" being placed on the bottom of the list.

I would like to look into customizing the junk filter later on though, but for now I do select files based on personal judgement.

I've an idea that might be best ... personal judgement :) works for me, but let us know how you get on customizing it Some say it's great ..others not:)
