33 search results, but none showing but the fakes? As far as I can figure my computer is fine. I'm using Windows XP, connections are perfectly fine, etc.. etc... I'm trying to search for audio files, but no there are no results that are showing except for the usual two fake results. The strange thing is, up at the top with the name of my search item, it says I have quite a few results. This is happening with anything I search for. I have read some other threads on similar problems. I've gone into tools and scrolled through everything and double checked that I'm not blocking possible results and that I'm giving 100% to the LimeWire program to do it's thing. Anyone else experiencing this as well or has experenced this before? It's entirely frustrating. |

When you say that you only see 2 results - do you mean 2 lines of results? Check the # column - that shows you how many identical versions of a file are being shared. For example - if the total results showed as 240 but you only had 2 lines of results showing... one with 100 in the # column & the other with 140 in the # column, that would account for your total results. If that's not the case, check your junk filter (tools > options > junk) & see if you've chosen to not show junk. In that case, whatever your LW marks as junk won't show in your search results but will still count towards the total results found. Junk Filter Fakes are throughout the network. Do you use the hostiles list? If not, check the link below for download & info about where to place the list (within the preferences folder named LimeWire). Close LW properly before you add the list. That might reduce the amount of crap that you see. The TechNutopia Fullsize Hostiles List for BearShare and LimeWire If you find that you see heaps of junk, click on your Connections tab. There you'll see the ultrapeers that you're connected to. If you're connected to bad UPs then you'll see lots of spam. Right click on an UP > remove... a new UP will replace the old one. Do this with all your UPs & then search... see whether things change. Check out the advice here: Problems with the search There are also tips here: How to find music |
