Thanks Murasame b/c I think you agree with the logic as do a lot of other users. And to its practicality & applicability for many purposes.

I've been thinking this issue could be approached with a double-edged sword programming. ie: 1. in the same way that searches are categorised by Audio/Programs/Audio/Docs, etc. this can also be applied the same way. 2. But also, if there could be a filter applied to filter out what inconsistent results do come in. This would result in ideal search results.

For the positive point of GN & the personal user: 1. size search category/type/xtra condition 'would' reduce traffic. 2. Ideal results! Certainly more accurate than the present categories try to promise (so to speak!)

Don't tell us it's on the agenda for 5 yrs time or version 6.x or something. I believe this would not be so hard to implement. Even as a 'double-edged sword' with a search condition & filter as well. There's other p2p apps that have similar functionality. LW could potentially improve upon it in such a way it's actually good for the network. Jeeez it's been tooo many yrs since I've done programming, but this ... dare I say it ..... Why should it get given a low priority?

I selected one at random HERE (Click on link) out of the herd than runs roughly over the same terrain. Time to round them all up! lol

(hmm it seems my links has been corrupted. It now points to a now obsolete forum section & gnutella p2p program.)
