I'll quicly explain to you:

1. Every filter is a set of rulles.
2. Every file has a set of attributes (one of them is the name, one is the extension, one is the size, and so on...)
3. Rulles can be/are made from a set of file attributes.

So we have:
File attributes -> Rulles -> Filter.

Simple?

And by the way there are p2p progs who can filter files by size. Keep on looking

example:
file.exe - 2 MB
file.avi - 700 MB

exe, avi - extensions (attribute)
2 MB , 700 MB - sizes (attribute)
file,file - name (attribute)

oh ok I see what you mean, the size. I never have paid attention to that when I search I type in song title and author for music. Rarely do I fill out the entire search box.

I dont use drop down boxes when I search. and it Still doesnt make a diff. virues and junk files will always be apart of P2P whether you can filter em by extensions or size, meh. Like I said previously, Im used to spotting a junk file a mile away and thats more important than filters ect. Personally Id rather see the search comeup, I dont believe in limits.

Exclamation FILTERS

If there wasn't the filters than you wouldn't be able to search anything at all !!!

The word "search" will have no meaning...
