Hi,
does any know how i can avoid that every time a give in a search eg on one word i get a whole lot of results that do not correspond with what i have asked.
If i give in eg "FAT" i would like to see just titles with the word FAT

Is this possible?

no, but we are all patiently waiting for the developers to modify the search engine in the software.

Register at https://www.limewire.org/jira/browse/GUI-29 and vote for it to happen.

edit: Oops wrong link. Fixed now

On the topic of searches, what is the proper format for an AND search?
A search for "Alex Jones" returns nothing.
A search for Alex Jones gives results for both Alex or Jones, which is a ton of results that are irrelevent.
A seach for Alex AND Jones returns results for Alex, and, or Jones. (same as the one above, plus hits on And)
A search for +Alex +Jones acts the same as above showing hits for either word.

Thats about all the standard search engine tricks that I know of, so if anyone knows which one works with LW, I'd appriciate it.

Thanks,
eb

Never mind, did some more digging and it looks like this is a known issue and just aint gonna work at the moment.
Might wanna sticky this issue as searching for "Search" on the forum doesn't really help much

I'm kinda wondering how fast Limewire will improve their search, since they will be spending a lot of time defending themselves in court.

About searching the forum it often works to use google to search here

Just write site:www.gnutellaforums.com as part of your searchphrase

Example: "songs to my mp3 player" site:www.gnutellaforums.com

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...om&btnG=Search
