Thumbs up How to elimate un-useful search results

Ok you a LW user tired of those RED search results that lead to nowhere? Ok lets remove those private IP network results.

Start by open Tools, Options, Filters, Hosts and Add the following
IP addresses individually and then Apply.


192.168.*.*
10.*.*.*
169.254.*.*
172.16.*.* do this in sequence to 172.32.*.*
These two below seemed to help me also.
127.*.*.*
255.*.*.*

This should help to elimate unwanted search results.

A case where you do not want to have this enabled is if you are sharing files on a private IP address network. Most people
are not sharing files on a private IP address network, but sharing
on a public one.

I hope this tip helps and would get incorporated into a helpful configuration document for LW.
