In addition to existing Search Types (All, Video, Audio, Image etc), I would like to be able to directly request an IP address. I can think of two ways to implement this:

1. include "IP" among the Search Types

2. include a filter-field(?) for "IP" alongside Filename, Title, etc. on some or all of the search types.
(this would allow someone to search for a file from a specific IP, presumably one they already knew to offer that file)

FYI - the reason for this request is exactly the circumstance I mention in #2. I'll be queued-up to download from someone but then I'll lost the connection to them before I can get the file. Eventually, I close Limewire or the search tab and there's no way to request the file from that same user again unless they show up in a new general Gnutella-wide search.
