Default search doesin't find a lot

I switched from Bearshare to Limewire Pro and like it a lot better. I'm not getting a lot of search results when I should be getting way more. Does anybody know any ways to improve this?

This is really the way it is? There ain't millions of mp3s and images being shared anymore?

efreeclub? i never heard of it. you should just re-download Limewire Pro *****


Even though nobody here works for LW, we still can't allow instructions/hints for downloading free Pro.

There aren't billions of files being shared like KaZaA used to have? Its like torrents? On Soulseek theres a lot and Ares also but I thought the Gnutella network would have more files being shared.

There's a lot of spam on the network now. In LW go tools > options > filters > keyword. Add efreeclub to your keyword filter > Apply > ok. You shouldn't see it in your searches any more. Check out the thread below for more info, as well as a list of words that it's worth filtering out. New spam will come along but if there's a keyword associated with the files, you can always filter it out
How to find music

You could also try this hostiles list - it might cut down on the amount of spam that you see: The TechNutopia Fullsize Hostiles List for BearShare and LimeWire

The search has been a bit off for lots of people lately. For me, it seems that some days there aren't many results & other days there are heaps.

Click on LW's Connections tab (if you don't see a Connections tab, click on View > Show/Hide > tick Connections).
You'll see the hosts (ultrapeers) that you're connected to... right click on a host > remove. You can do that for all ultrapeers that you're connected to - they'll be replaced by new UPs. Does this help at all?

If results are reeeally sparse, try either deleting LW's preferences folder or deleting/replacing your gnutella.net file. There's info here (it's a connection probs thread but still has the info you need): If LW Will Not Connect

If i search for "Hathaway" in images I only get 2 results. I should be getting at least 100 results on celebrities like that.
