Your version is quite old. LW for OS 9 is up to 4.1.0 now.

I did the search (81 results) & one person had 2 files listed at 384 kbps which is strange since the normal max of mp3 & m4a is 320 kbps. I haven't had any side-fx however. I wouldn't trust the 384! Corrupt for sure. I searched "the" & did get various results.

Perhaps you should delete your LW preferences folder called .limewire whilst LW is closed (make a note of your settings 1st.)

Do you have Java MRJ 2.2.6 for OS 9.2.2
