Phex will not extend the query range once 200-300 results are returned. This is done to reduce the network load and to complies with the rules to be a "good Gnutella citizen". Searching for words like 'mp3' are exactly the reason why this is done. The query will likely travel only one hop and cause enough results to be returned in short time. Phex figures that the query is too popular and dynamically reduces the search horizon or maybe even stops the whole query. On the other hand if you search for rare content with few results Phex will extend the range to reach more hosts.
In case slow host still return delayed results they wont get rejected though and displayed.

I recommend you to further refine your query with more specific search terms.

I said "a mp3" not the word mp3 , so for the good understanding the mp3 from elvis no matter what title returns not even 5% of what Bearshare does , so talking about who is a decent net citizen will not bring Phex to reduce queries if the Grand Pa bearshare does actualy the oppsite of it , its also a turn that Phex isnt that much spread and people might looking for something else the Phex.

Even I have tried it from one of the earliest versions untill now but if I look for something I want all not 1% not 5% I want at least 80% of what gnutella has to offer like 95% in bearshare.

Lowering a Query ok I understand but Phex is lower their out come to 10% down thats not good , if you could find a compromise where the community can live with thats ok but reduce it that much is imho to much.
