Question Search is going nuts

Im new to Limewire. I disabled my Windows firewall but still have my MacAfee firewall enabled. When I do a music search, all seems fine. But when I do a DVD search for a movie, I keep getting the same hits, none pertaining to my search words. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

these may be spam/fake results...

firstly, arrange video searches so that they are displayed by size...this will put the smaller, totally faker, files on the bottom..secondly, right click on a result and choose to do a bitzi lookup...if there is no bit-print available then it is most likely a bogus file..if the bit-print review is favorable, then its most likely a decent, valid file...

what you also have to realize is that even though the files you see are 'misnamed', they are most likely in a folder with the names of LOTS of files...as an example, if a person has a folder in shares with the name 'vacation', and inside of it there are pictures named DSCN-0001 to DSCN-0100, all of those pictures will come up in a search for vacation, even though they are not named as such because LW detects the naming of the folder they reside in...the same could be for any other file...name a folder with a lot of keywords, and the contents of the folder will be displayed as search results when any of those keywords are used as a search parameter...

PEERLESS,
Thank you for responding.
But this would make sense if I didnt try searching several different movie titles and yet get the same meaningless listings.
