No matter what I type in, I get absolutely no search results (even stuff as common as Britney Spears or Kanye). Any ideas on why this is? Limewire used to work so great for me..

Are you fully connected to the internet -- if so are you fully connected to LW -- if yes to both this explanation could be the reason:-

The content of the Gnutella network consists solely of files which people running Gnutella software are sharing. If nobody is sharing the particular file you're looking for, you won't be able to find it using LimeWire. Furthermore, even if somebody running Gnutella software IS sharing the file you're looking for, it's possible that person doesn't fall within your reachable area. In this case, you won't be able to find the files you're looking for, either.
Since the entire Gnutella network isn't always reached with each search, searching for the same thing a second time may yield more results. The Gnutella network is continuously growing. In general, the more people that use it (and the longer they keep the application running), the more good content will be available to everyone.
