Ive downloaded limewire for osx and it was running fine. Now whenever I restart the program no search window pops up. It says I'm connected. I just can't find a way to bring the window back.

I have the same problem. it began when I upgraded to limewire pro. I've contacted Limewire support several times but have gotten no solution yet. Have you found a solution???

Check if you have a small round handle that is used to drag the horzontal divider moved alltogether to the top of the LimeWire window just below the tabs. I have seen that happen occasionally, if I drag that handle back to the middle of the LimeWire window the search result window reappears. It might happen similarly with the vertical divider that allows one to adjust the size of the search entry text boxes.
