How can I narrow the search parameters so that ONLY what I am searching for is returned and not things close or verbally related?
I search for "BBC Peter Sellers" and I get back a lot of things by Peter Tosh. No. Not wanted. Any help here, or can LimeWire not narrowly and precisely search? Thanks, LC |

Try using the "Any Type" search with 2 or 3 terms and the extension.
The latest beta (4.1.5) has filters to help narrow the display of results. |

Type it with "...", so Limewire should search for the whole phrase and not for each indivdual word.

My assumption is that if I place " around BOTH title and artist (individually), that I will only see a result with both "C'est Si Bon" as a song title and "Conway Twitty" as artist, for example. Nicht var? |

Excellent! I just placed double quotes around both song title and artist (for a song I knew existed hundreds of times on-line) and the only returns were the exact song I tried to specify. It works!!!
