Search inaccurate
 
I've noticed recently that my search results have become inaccurate. Eg: If I search for a specific song and artist, I'll get loads of songs returned by that artist, but not necessarily the title I wanted. The files appear to be genuine, they have about the right filesize, but they're just not the files I want. It sort of defeats the object of having a search feature if I have to trawl through and manually find the file I want.

It tends to work better if you just search for the song title. also, if the song is on an album ...you can research on google .... search the album.

Putting in artist and song together does not work well. That's just the way it seems to work...not perfect, but you learn the best search methods with time.

There is a sticky at the top of one of the forums, I forget which, called "How to find music" That will give you lot's of useful hints:) ah this is the link: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showthread.php?t=56904

Also you will see all the other stickies which are an excellent reference :)
