**** on limewire???

[raccyboy]

can anyone help -- on limewire when I type in an audio search for artist ****, it finds nothing at all - that can't be right??? please tell me how to find them....thanks

I think search terms are broken up by the dot, and single letter searches are ignored.

Try **** or some other keyword

tried that thanks, but only get 6 ***** songs and about 50 other bands!!!

ok

2 other ideas:
-use an any type search with "**** .mp3", then use the filters to limit all the "remember" etc results

-once you have results you want, try brwosing that host to see more of the files they have.

Looks like this is a limitation of gnutella searches. Try posting in the "feature request" forum: maybe something can be done eventually to gt all the gnutella developers to change the way they handle search terms.

oops! You're right of course. I'm just answering about how to search for a file titled with single letters separated by periods. This also affects seaching with single characters, like in many Asian languages where single characters are the equivalent of English or European words.

Thanks for the reminder.

stief ---thanks for trying to help, I will try that.....

imsteve --- seeing as I already own every **** album recorded, I don't think the band/retailers would mind my downloading some of their stuff, while I am in the UK for the year, and my cd collection is at home in SA.......so any further suggestions as to how to download some of their music would be welcomed!!!

raccyboy......I think the bands/recording industry WOULD MIND VERY MUCH if you download thier stuff...they dont care that you already bought it or are separated from your collection by the Atlantic Ocean...why do you think there is so much fuss about p2p? they dont care if youre in England or travelling the farthest reaches of the solar system. they want your money.period.
