I updated my version of lw pro yesterday and now I get very few download options off of my searches, as well as when I do try to download I sit in an endless query or wait in line???

no I have it no real probs so far only thing I noted was when you search for a file with some files it has a check next to it like you already got it for some reason.

Click on your connections tab, highlight the ultrapeers that you're connected to > remove. LW will find new ultrapeers & that can change the search results that you see.

Also, try deleting 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 kill all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things. If you're not sure of your settings, go through LW's tools > options & write them all down, so that you can reset things later.

If you think 4.14.8 is buggy, you can post in the Bugs & Beta Testing section of this other forum (some developers spend time there).
