New Search Feature

[YoThisBling]

I have always wondered if there would be a way to narrow your search down to be pretty precise. Like when you type for something in music, you might get other things not related to that. Will there be a filter or a new way to narrow your searches?

[halfcabmelancholy]

there is, check the left side column... suprised you missed that

[YoThisBling]

LOL I didn't miss anything! I am talking about when you type in something for lets say programs and sometimes you get searches that don't even have those key words your looking for in them!

YoThisBling The search is very imprecise, and brings in things only vaguely related. I have noticed this ever since I started using LW. I realized that entering certain words in the keyword filter helped enormously. Except that for your next search you might want the words not filtered. Perhaps a little peek at Phex could be undertaken by a sneaky dev lol :) Their seach filters are not perfect either, but a combination of the two would be worthy of consideration, although I have an idea they are built totally different ways.

I particularly like the feature of one of the other Gnutella clients. You can type '+word' in the filter box and it will only show the titles which include that word :)

Phex does it ..as I said above. I can't say which of the Windows only clients does :)

BearShare has a simple checkbox to filter out results that don't match any of your search terms.
It's called "Hide non-matching results" and you'll find it in Setup/Searching.
