Banned phrases on SoulSeek search?

Right - no idea what's happening here, but:
everytime I try and run a search for Chicane Saltwater, it comes up with *no* results
Yet, when I type in saltwater, it returns results, and chicane saltwater is amongst them.
Now, there is a bell ringing somewhere, out there, deep in my head, that tells me I might have had issues with that very phrase in the past and a similar problem.
So — the crucial question: are there any banned phrases in the SoulSeek search?
Just to clarify - I've waited over 3 minutes for the search results come up for chicane saltwater, and ran several searches with different usernames to make sure it's not a server problem. Still nothing. saltwater itself is still expanding.
Anyone…?

Hi Nir,
Hi Nir,
Thanks for taking the time to reply and being honest. That's a real shame what's happening, though. I was under the impression that SoulSeek is one of the few networks, where there's no outside influence from third parties operating externally.
Wondering who else has banned their music from being shared. :(
i just noticed that soulseek
i just noticed that soulseek does not turn out any search results when typing "beyonce" Thank you very much Nir for answering this on 2012 and being honest to us, the users. And to be honest myself, I really don't care at all about this specific search being banned it just further solidifies my opinions about the music industry.
if an "artists" name is
if an "artists" name is banned then search by "song name" instead.
Beatles
I take it "Beatles" is a banned term as well? Why?
copyright request maybe ?
