Hi guys/gals. I'm having a similarly frustrating problem. I just upgraded to LW (NOT Pro) 4.18.3 from 4.14.8 which worked fine. I'm running it off a G4 PowerBook with OSX 4.11. Now even when I give it silly searches like "the b**tles"; "b**thoven"; etc. it spins and spins and gives NO results. Help, please?!?! Thanks so so very much... A
