various connections
 
Does the number of connections you have determine the variety of your search results?

Thanks:p

Yes--but the variety is really set by the hosts your search reaches.

However, a search can't currently reach every one of the several millions of machines on the network.

Reconnecting every once in a while might allow your search get out to a different part of the network.

Thanks for your reply steif. ;)

is there any way to expand the range of searchable network my connection can reach?

Apparently, LW Pro in Leaf mode has the largest "horizon" at present.

Searching on a different day/week/month also is a factor. 5 PM (GMT -4) is a popular time for people to be on the network; weekends better yet.

So, try searching when you'd guess a typical university student of the country you want might be online. Try this for Japanese content ;) to get a sense of what works.


All times are GMT -7. The time now is 09:44 AM.
