I would dearly like to see LimeWire's search gain enough smarts to block out all but the required file type. i.e. select file type=ogg and get only ogg files come back.

If the player could understand ogg as well that would be icing on the cake.

I am well aware that there is not much ogg out there but if respected applications like LimeWire gave it the support it deserves, less people would shun it or mistake it for a nasty disease.

I'll second that request, to be able to add "File Type" to the search request (under more search options). I was wondering whether LimeWire was searching for just MP3 files while performing an audio search.

Actually, it'd be nice to know exactly what file types LW will return when searching, or to specify the default file types for the various default searches.

Keep up the great work!

a workaround is to add .ogg to the search terms and use the "Any Type" search.

The filters are planned for the future (see here

Ahhh ... no wonder I'm not experiencing such joys. I tried installing 3.9.1Pb and was told that the installation can't proceed because the installer can't find the LimeWire.msi file to un-install my current (3.8.6P) version of LW. See my post on that subject.

It's nice that the LW folks are finally including a quasi-changelog with each new version; it'd be better yet if an historic changelog could be included with each release (e.g., most programs would have a history.txt or changelog.txt file included with the distro).
