Hello!

I do not think that it is anything wrong with the LimeWire search result manner.Actually I think that just using the old fashioned any type search method gives better results then the categorised search.And also the fact that you get alot of unwanted or unexpected results in the search hits is when it comes to file sharing especially music a positive thing.

When you get alot of unwanted results on one of the Internet search engines yes thats really annoying because you have to go trough alot of garbish before finding what you want and that takes alot of time and energy.

But when you find unexpected stuff on Gnutella it is a good thing both for you and all the unknown not so big artists out there.Usually when I have searched for something in particular and finds it and then start to download it I usually during the time it takes to download that file browse trough the search result list and occassionally I find something that I never though of before but for some reason feel a temptation to download and I download that too and sometimes I get real good stuff that way that I never would have thought of searching by my self but ofcourse sometimes you get crap aswell but it is worth it.

And also as I stated above the small artists can actually benefit from this because they gets listened too alot more then they should have been listened too if it where not for the existence of File Swapping and Gnutella so the record industry is wrong when they states that FileSharing is the reason for the current dropp in sales I think that if it where not for filesharing the drop in sales would have been even worse.The reason for the current drop in sales is because of the outrageus prices that they charge for an album today.But the RIAA and their alikes are to stupid to realise that.
