Hi. I have properly installed LW and everytime I try to run a search, it goes through the motions as usual with the search filter but doesn't show the number of results next to the search name or display any results in the window below. I have used limewire before and never had this problem. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Is your LW connected (all green/blue connection bars)? If LW's connected, try the fixes below.

1. 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.

2. Problems with the search

3. 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).
Fixes for LimeWire
This will change all of your settings within LW's options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things to the way you like them.

If LW Will Not Connect
If nothing there helps, post back with your system details

setup will not let me get back from miscallenous settings

if no numbers show up next to the file , it most likely means there is only one person with that file. (that you connected to)
