![]() Hi, is it possible to refine the search? For instance, If I ask for Edit, I get Edit and lots of other stuff. Can I look for Edit" and nothing else somehow? I'm almost sure to have missed something, since Ultrapeer overload is such a big issue. Such fuzzy search obiously creates a lot of garbage replies that have to be transported back.

![]() Some servents (especially Gnucleus and Morpheus) return results even if only one of the search terms were in the file. LimeWire can't do anything about that. There is no advanced search mode or anything that would let you refine the search besides adding more keywords.

![]() Sure, in general I like the way Gnutella searches for exactly the same reasons. But sometimes I really want a certain file, and in that case it is quite inconvenient. But I really wonder, if such a search option would not be a method to reduce traffic significantly. I just recently searched for files by Edit, and it takes two or three attempts every five minutes or so to get some results. Retrying really makes a difference here. While I repeat searches to get these rare files, Gnutella has to return everything about Edit again and again. I'm almost sure that our searches push each other in the narrow channels of our favorite network. Last edited by Remoc; February 11th, 2008 at 06:16 PM. |
