If asterix means, a Dot, then yes

If you are only looking for, Say, mp3 you can add other extensions eg.. .mov
.wmv Look at what the file extensions for the most spam results are & add them. THIS is a temp thing, then remove them when you have finished

Bill Hi.
All Those search results returned in that link,
Can be stopped by one little word ".wma" put in the search filter, If That seems like Rocket Science to you, Then get off P2P

P.S... IM watching You. L/W is our baby, Try reading the manual, Learn how to use L/W, Then you can enjoy Downloading/Uploading.
That link is just PROPER GANDER so delete it, Your just helping the Spammers.
Peace.

Uh huh,

What if someone actually WANTS to find a .wma file? And if its so easy, why doesnt limewire filter these garbage files by default?

Hi Bill.
If someone actually WANTS to find a .wma file, & let me add, I have many Good
.wma files that I share. You simply remove from the filter list the extension .wma

Don't look at the filter like a fixed thing, its an adjustable tool
If Im looking for mp3 format (for my mp3 player) Why sift through hundreds of files I already No I don't want.
If I want .wma files, then I add .mp3 & whatever other Formats that many spam results come through under.

You Say!!
"And if its so easy, why doesn't limewire filter these garbage files by default?"

Because LimeWire IS, AN OPEN INFORMATION SHARING (P2P) program. OPEN being the point.
They are looking out for your RIGHT to choose, What files, (Information) you require.
e.g. The Mail man should not be chastised, because he delivered your
item,that you chose from the catalog, & now its not what you thought it would be, You chose it.
LimeWire wish to make things easy for you, So they provide a filter for all to use.
THATS WHERE YOU COME IN.
Peace.

Evidently, it isn't that simple to just leave that nonsense out. There have always been fools on this planet and there always will be, concerning stupid files like those "pranked" files and other stuff that I don't think should even be on LW. I have enough trouble trying to find songs without all those porno files popping up. I mean, who cares about (gross subject here)? Imho, I couldn't care less.

LimeWire is software that allows users to connect directly to other users'
computers, via the Gnutella network, and share files with them. It is not a
music service, we do not have any members, nor do we make any such indication, anywhere on our website.

We have no foreknowledge of, nor control over, what users decide to share over the Gnutella network, we do not place any files on the network for users to download, nor do we make any guarantee that you will find the files you are searching for.

Firewalls are not the cause of every LimeWire issue. "Need more sources" is
already addressed in our FAQ:
http://www.limewire.com/english/cont...faq.shtml#dow1

Please provide a clear, detailed description of your problem, so I can better
assist you. In addition, if you are getting an error message, you will need to
include it in your response, exactly as it appears on your screen, as well as
the exact moment at which you received the message. To learn about peer-to-peer file sharing, and the Gnutella network, please visit:
