Default ??? about searching

hey everyone, I have a ??, I'm new to Limewire, been a Kazaa user for years though, is there a way to keep the search feature going on Limewire like you could by enableing "search unlimited" in K-Lite??, I find it nessacary to get an extended search for some of the rarer music I'm looking for and Limewire seems to limit it to two mins. or so, any help would be appreciated greatly.

as a postscript, I believe it would put an undue strain on the network to have continuous searching. I hope that answers your question

Default still having a problem......

when I hit the "search" button, it does the search over again, starting from zero, with the same 100 or so results it gave me on the previous one, I need a way to *continue* the search with *added* results, not start it over, am I missing something important or is this just a limitation of this P2P program that I'm not aware of??

The search will always start at 0 you can not retain search results with limewire. Although I believe limewire remembers previous searches. But no you can not do what you wanting to do with limewire

You will find I think that this is simply because there are no new hosts on line with what you want. I also search for fairly obscure stuff and the shares available just don't change that often as they do for more popular subjects.

There is no point in re-searching and still getting your previous results if those hosts are now off line ... so the search starts again from scratch. If you want to keep the old search, as I do sometimes ....Do a new identical search and you will see the two side by side

Hope this helps
