I have looked around and not seen anything that would answer my question/problem. When I want to do a search if I click on everything then the search box is visible to me, but if I choose a specific type search, such as video, then I can no longer see the search option. I have tried making that area, which is the left side of my LimeWire, but can't seem to do that. I have maximized and minimized, nothing works. Any suggestions. Thanks a bunch Vampy

Do any of these help: Drag option box down

Drag corner of LW for resizing

There's not only those small arrows that'll show just a section at a time, but there's also dots that you can drag to resize the partitions of the sections of the window.

Otherwise try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Fixes for Limewire

Thanks for the tips. I finally found two different ways to enlarge the area but it requires me eliminating a toolbar on the top of my page. I will go thru your suggestions and see if I can solve the problem without eliminating my other tool bar, but if not, oh well I can always put it back. Thanks so much for your help
