I use soulseek (well nicotine+ for linux, but same network). For years know I have know that searching for certain terms will fail to give results because they are being filtered. For example "bryan" or "adams" returns no results for me. Although I can find these items in other ways- I'm curious if there have been any new finds on how to bypass this?

This is the first I've heard of this and I can't stop laughing because its Bryan Adams.

Who else is filtered??

There are lots of terms. I discovered this because there is an older song I like that has his vocals over some trance - it is by Chicane called "don't give up". I also found Chicane is blocked. This causes a streisand effect for me where I will purposely search for and share items that are censored regardless if I like them or not.
