Is someone or something blocking particular searches?

Soulseek is showing no results for Lady Gaga (I am looking for the bonus tracks on the tenth anniversary edition of Born This Way). No results whatsoever for a big famous pop star. Weirder still, after running that search, there are no results for The Beatles to test it - no results. So, two extremely famous acts - no results. Bigger stars better copywrite lawyers, I guess. Could these searches be somehow blocked?

That is bizarre, considering that when you search for one of their releases it comes up, together with the band name. Very odd indeed.

Server admins, probably.

The Beatles omission is deliberate. I read that somewhere a while back. You can still search for individual Beatles tracks and albums you just can't include the word "Beatles" in your search query. Maybe it's the same with Gaga?

Well this answered MY issue. I've been trying for two days to do a search for a Michael Jackson song, and once I took his name out search results started appearing. Eeesh..
