Question Newbie Question re SEARCH STRING



Hi !


A simple question I hope.

I only have a 56k modem and I want to search as much of the user files as possible for a more obscure file.

When searching in Limewire (e.g. audio) what is the best way to enter search details? ... (How) Can I specify an Exact phrase ? e.g. 'Purple is the colour' Do I enter 'AND' betwen each?

I would like to avoid hits returning just 'Purple' and 'is' and 'colour' and just get the complete string.

(How) Can I ensure that the search does not time out too quickly if searching as much of the world as possible?


Finally how (if possible) can I minimise being hacked - not that I've got anything useful!

Thanks

Rich

Well I can try to answer one of your questions, which would be the one about being "hacked." Personally, I don't think you have very much to worry about. You are assigned a different IP address every time you log on, and so it would be kind of difficult to keep track of you, or should I say impossible. Once you upgrade to a high-speed connection, that is when you will have to worry a bit more. But if you are really that paranoid there is a free firewall that is fairly easy to use available at zonelabs.com.
