Manual search remains completely empty

whenever I enter a search in manual search, no songs are found. There is clearly a connection, because someone is uploading, and this also means the file sharing works. Do others experience the same problems, and what might be the solution?

The only thing I can think of that might be causing something like this is if your Soulseek client had no ability to either form or accept connections. This is possible if your ISP is blocking connections on all non-standard ports.
