You are absolutly right, it is to be mldonkey duty to filter results. 

However, I was thinking a few days ago to a feature for mldonkey (or
mldonkeyGUI) in general : adding an "Enforce search" checkbox, which
only produces (or shows) results that match the selected filter...
Shouldn't be too difficult to add ! 

I think that adding this feature could :
- avoid doing it in a corner case (overnet protocol)
- improve the quality of searches in general (how many times did "xxx
yyy avi" produce results for "avi" only ? We frequent in
limewire/gnutella protocol)
