I just wanted to point out, that AFAIK Xolox doesn't search for the whole filename (these searches have been around long time before Xolox), but it "just" repeats the original search. That's just the way I did it manually with LimeWire before, since that's the only way to find enough hosts with the file I'm looking for.
