Default Why can't I search for programs?

Hey there, hoping someone might have an answer for me. I have being using LW Pro. for quite some time, but just today needed to search for a program (.exe or the like) only to discover that I cannot. It isn't listed as an option in the pull-down menu for search categories. Does anyone know why this might be? I never had any issues searching for programs before. I appreciate any constructive help that can be directed to me. Thanks!!

I have no idea if this will help but see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/open-d...e-sharing.html

Make sure exe is not included on your filter terms for either extensions or keywords.

'Normally' such files should be compressed as a zip or rar or disk image or other. So perhaps you're seeking in the incorrect way. When it's freeware of course just get a hold of the original download link (we sometimes forget that.) Freeware is such a great concept! "Pushes it in front of the abusers!"
