Suddenly, search coming up empty.
 

Hello. This is my first post. I've used limewire for a couple of weeks, never having any problems until today. I type in the name of the artist, click on search, and it comes up empty. These are artists that I've searched before and know that there are loads of files available, but my limewire search doesn't find them. Can anyone tell me what I may have done and how to fix this? Thank you, Sue

Are you connected properly (how many green connection bars do you see)?
If your connection is ok, try this: Problems with the search

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

And if that's no help, 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 kill all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things.

Thank you Birdy, I tried it again this morning and it seems to be working now.
