Cant type ":" (colon) in search box in LW
 

Using LimeWire 4.16.6, Windows Media Center OS. Trying to search for a *** 11:14 but when I attempt to type the : in the title search box it won't type it in. I also tried typing it in in notepad and pasting it and LW removes it when pasted. Thanks.

Some characters are not used because to use them would add a lot of over-head to the network, slowing down searches, other potential problems, etc.

Simply use a dash -
It will have the same effect. ;)
