With such a positive response I had to go try it again. Unfortunately...

LimeWire 2.0: 96 files, 406Mb
LimeWire 1.8: 182419 files, 4841755Mb

I tried the same searches in each app, at the same time. I got usable results from most searches in 1.8, but only one search showed *any* results in 2.0. (Bizarrely enough, it counted slightly more found items in that set than were apparently available in total according to the Stats window.)

I know things are ever changing, so comparing search results can be misleading. But this was such a black-and-white difference...

Perhaps you were running in Mac OS 9? I have no idea where the problem lies, but maybe it is an OS-level problem rather than an app-level one? (Yes, I am clutching at straws. :-)
