regular searches

Please can anyone advise me how I search using only a relative range of search terms such as "E*gles," "fle*twood mac," or "ast*n villa," without Limewire assuming that this is spam and delivering fewwer and fewer returns until it dries up altogether.

For LW 5's advanced search features, go to LW's menu bar, Tools -> Advanced Search.

Also after search results come in, wait a few minutes, then right-click the search tab & choose Find More Results.

Do not use same search term repeatedly too often. This may have a side effect of some LW ultrapeers reacting to your multiple requests as being a kind of spam & thus you will receive less search results ... perhaps zero on occasions. Vary your search criteria.

Also I would recommend viewing search results in Classic View: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/new-fe...tml#post338459 & choose to show bitrate column. Any audio file without a bitrate is most likely going to be spam.
