I'm here right now for the exact same reason. There is just an "x" where the total number of hits should be for whatever I search for...

Is your LW connected properly (all green/blue connection bars)? If LW's connected, try the fixes below.

1. In LW go tools > options > searching > basic & check whether the 'show license warning' box is ticked. If it's ticked , untick it > Apply > ok...see if that makes any difference.

2. Problems with the search

3. Delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location).

This will change all of your settings within LW's options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things to the way you like them.

nothing downloading
 
For some reason, I can't get anything to come up. The search goes...the bar fills, but nothing comes up. I have had this problem for quite some time.
I run Windows XP pro. I did notice that this problem began with upgrading to the newest Limewire version.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Same problem here. I tried adding those hosts as suggested, and they didn't come up

You need more than one green bar in the connection bar to be able to search & download files. If only one green bar it means you have a connection problem.

Same issue here. I have 5 green connection bars, and no searches result in anything at all. I could not seem to find any "preferences folder" in Limewire...Please help

Check in the thread below (even though your LW is connected) for info about how to find the prefs folder(s). Remember that if you've used much older versions of LW in the past, you might have 2 folders... then you should delete them both;)

Did you also try the other 2 fixes in post #3?

Thanks for this! Works great now!

Great:) Which fix worked for you? Just that heaps of people are having the problem with searches & if we can find out which fix works for most people, it would be a big help.
