Search stop words

Description: 
Lately I've noticed my client returning search hits for words like 'i' and 'a', which I would rather not return hits for. If such searches are allowed by Soulseek then it would be good if we could set a list of words in the client that it would never return hits for.

That's a good point. I'll look into preventing the client from returning results for searches that are too generic.

What about a button to stop the search as well? when I return a large result set where there are way more than what i need slsk freezes up and i am at the mercy of the network until the search is complete. May already be on a different issue.

That's a good idea, I'll add it to my todo list. Stopping the search will take care of any slowdowns related to updating the user-interface and the data system (which I suspect is what's causing the slowdown in your case), but won't actually stop the client from receiving search results, so network performance won't actually be affected.
