Unhappy Why does the search only search one word?

If you enter in a two word search, you end up with a ton of stuff that is from either word.

Why isn't there an advanced search for the words?
If you enter Mark Twain, you end up with a thousand things for shania twain.
I put mark twain, not twain, not shania twain.

Going to audio and putting mark twain as the "artist", since there is no author, still comes up with a ton of shania twain.

And HOW DO YOU GET RID OF THE NOT RELATED garbage???????
If I wanted NOT RELATED garbage to come up, I would search for it.

I have put that stuff in the filter and it still comes up. WTF??
I paid for the Limewire Pro, thinking that the search would be better and all that, but it ain't.

So, how does this work or is there no "Advanced" search for terms?

maybe shania twain is more famous than mark..? ...

to block out the none related stuff filter out keywords like 'pranked' and such...
Filters > Configure Content Files >
and use keywords and set junk sensitivity at strict... that should help...

also, you can look up files with bitzi... (not sure how'd that help except for authenticity...)

But if you really wante to narrow down searches... add song titles, artist, and albums...

If you want Mark Twain, there is a much better program that should suit your needs admirably...

I can relate to the junk {pranked" crap that comes up all the time with searches...and appreciate that info mentioned. However, I have a problem with my limewire pro getting all messed up- not at all like it was from me hitting too many options! I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it, but it is only in limewire, not Pro. I cant figure a way to get my PRO version back!! I tried to email them, but no email addy given, and when I try to log in to Limewire, it wont recognize ANY of my possible 4 email addresses! HELP please

Dude, don't be stupid, that was an example.
Besides, some of us live in places that you have to pay to have access to check out things out of a public library and their selection is extremely limited at best for any kind of audio stuff.
Yes, there are still places like that. So your comment wasn't as smart as you think it was.

because there are not enough results for the two words.
so it ends up relying on one word.

It's probably because your 6 months are up...Did you keep the Pro installer at all ?? Pro is for 6 months of free updates and email support, once that time is up you can keep using your Pro for as long as you like, but you will not recieve any more updates or support....You can re-subscribe at a discounted price...
