Go to View menu -> Show/Hide > Connections -> then in that window select your UP listed as connected & at bottom press Remove button. Wait for it to connect to another UP. Then remove the others one by one that were originally listed. Perhaps removing just one or two will do the job.
Different UP's will give different search results because they themselves are connected to different peers & different 'other' ultrapeers. Keep in mind the maximum horizon of a search on gnutella network is limited; http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...ally-work.html & also http://www.gnutellaforums.com/limewi...tml#post332858 & related links within.

No running both at same time would be a little laggy for SL I think lol
Which version of LW are you using? Perhaps update your gnutella.net file: If LW Will Not Connect (click on the blue link)

Check your keyword filters, make sure you have not inadvertently filtered out important words. Also 'show' Junk at bottom of search results just in case items are being filtered out of search without you realising.

I am having same problems, nothing comes up when i do search results, it just sits there forever. I have redownloaded software, checked my firewall, rebooted, disconnected and reconnected...nothing.

i am vista and LW Pro 4.18.8

it's pissing me off because i upgraded a few weeks ago thinking it would help and still nothing. i am trying to get in touch with limewire but this site has no technical resource contact from what i can see. i sent an email two weeks ago and have gotten no response. nice customer support LW.

Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.) OR for vista see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...der-vista.html

I've had the 'odd' poor day, but it generally levels out.

Default Getting frustrated as well

I'm having the same problem. I've been using Limewire for YEARS and this is the first time. I have tried many different searches...song name, artist and album searches.

I receive no results on the left side...and 1 result in the actual window.

I have not changed anything on my computer that would be causing this, and I just updated my software. Seriously, what is going on?

Are you showing Junk results at bottom of search results? If not it might be an idea to check nothing is being blocked out accidentally since the junk filter is not super reliable at making the right choices.

When updating to LW 4.18 it's a good idea to delete your LW preferences folder.

You could try 'other' gnutella programs & see if same problem. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/phex-c...-released.html is a good one to try. There's also FrostWire & BearShare 5 beta, etc.
