Searching with Limewire

[Twisted One]

Is there a way to specify "whole word only", or a phrase (a search term
containing spaces to be treated as one continuous item)? For example, to
search for "hear" without matching "hearing" or to search for "the
world" without matching "the whole wide world". (A character that
matches a space in a search word, and one that matches "a space or the
end or beginning of the line", would do it; you could insert the former
between "the" and "world" and the latter at either side of "hear" to
achieve the desired results then.)

no ist not like win xp with wich you can click on specific word excluding
the rest of the crap, with lime wire you can only type in words without any
search filters unless the current ver allows it wich i havent tried, im at
ver 4.07

I don't use Limewire, but have you tried "hear " and "the world" (with
the quotes)?
It depends whether Limewire supports quotes in searches, but as I say, I
don't know whether it does.

I don't notice any difference in search results from quoting things.
Believe me it was the first thing I tried, since the same thing does
work on Google and on nearly every other search form known to Man.
