Default Searching HELP!!!

Hey all...

I have lime wire pro...
Love it !!!

But here is the problem...

I want to be abble to search for more then one word...

Lets say i want to search for "Formula 1 race"

Lime wire will display all matches for Formula or race or 1...
But i dont want that...

I only want Limewire to display matches to "Formula 1 race" only...

How can i search this way...

Sometimes i want to search for something VERY specific...

I hate it when i get 1000 matches of crap...
If i seatch for "Formula 1 race"
I only want those matches displayed... Only matches that have ALL THE WORDS "Formula 1 race" in them...

Thanks you guys...

I'm afraid that's the nature of the search. You have to be a bit tricky in how you use it. Try using the All Types, it often gives better results. If you're looking for a video of a race & you know where it was held, add that to the search (eg Australian Grand Prix - Adelaide 1994)

If you're searching for something very specific & typing in "Formula 1 race"... can't blame the search for what it throws up

Try to be as specific as you can, without getting the dreaded "Your search is too specific" popup!!

So what you are saying is...

What i want to do , cant be done ?

What i want to do is, i want to search for multiple words...
I only want matches to ALL THE WORDS...

Its not my fault for searching for "Formula 1 race"

Because lime wire is showing me all movie files with the word "Race" in it, or "formula" in it, or "1" in it...

That is just silly...

If i type "Formula 1 race" i want files that have "Formula 1 race"
in it... ALL 3 WORDS...

Does anyone know of a way to search that can make ths happen? or is this just a shortcoming of lime wires search function?

How about Formula+1+race
Would that help ?
or Formula-1-race ?
Is there some sort of trick ?

or does limewire's search just suck ?

thanks
