Can you provide some more details. It could be due to a no. of things. If you've resumed all your files then LW might be too busy to carry out the search. Particularly on dial up. By the way, Resume button should only be used sparingly, particularly for dial up. It has side FX when applied to many or all incomlete files.
How many search results do you have up? Clear those that are a few hours old or if you get close to having double-digits whilst on dial up. On dial up it's not wise to try more than one search simultaneously.
I wonder if you closed LW & re-opened it whether it would then be ok.
Also, LW takes time to load the incomplete & shared files & then to settle down. After opening LW, don't rush into searching or other activities. Leave it for 15 or more mins & then carry out your searches. The longer LW is open the more stable it is. If you have people uplding from you then it's much easier to get good search results & downld results.
Have a look at this for hints:
search & dwnld hints. The latter one I've been thinking about re-writing for some time. That's just for playing it safe. eg- I show all speeds & qualities.
