Hi all
it would be cool feature to add some kind of "please enough of searched items for me this time" button to stop search after receiving some hits of well spread searched thing. Otherwise i have option to spend some of my bandwidth for nothing more interesting or to close search window - but i can't simply stop da search process ?! and check what i've searched??
OR i missed something

You could reprogram DC++ to ignore the remaining search results, but they will come in and still use bandwidth. The DC protocol has no way of aborting search requests.

ok, thanks for clearing this to me.
but

is it impossible to trick it a bit? button which would do some copying of actual hits to another place, closing search window and showing copied results instead of original search window? Sounds possible to me.

Is the bandwidth used by Search while you look at the results, really such an issue?
I'm thinking that to any developers, it's not. Especially when you compare it to unnecessarily duplicating all the seach results.

Closing the search window won't stop other users to send you their response to your query. So all you'll save is GPU, CPU and display (not much though). There is simply no StopSendingTheSearchResultsIAskedYou command in the protocol.

ok drop the bandwidth

it's a pretty mess to find something with or without sorting when new hits still are ariving (sometimes really fast

)- it's a main puropse of this stop button, bandwidth is just seconadry.

OK, this makes more sense. This I agree with.

Could add a little integer box to limit the number of search results are actually displayed in the search results window. It wouldn't save on bandwidth, though i think it'd be a nice feature.
