This actually refers to the "show incoming searches" which you can turn on or off at the top of the monitor window. It is interesting to watch, but whether you see lots of results or a few does not actually matter. What you see there is the searches that I any any one else are making at any point in time, regardless of whether or not you are sharing any of those items.
However if you are getting only a few search results in your Search window, then you may well have a problem and that would require further investigation. If you can see an excellent connection and no wall in front of the globe in the corner of Limewire, then you should presumably have things working well.
I hope this helps
