I have used KC Easy and Shareaza. What other P2P clients are
recommended?

You can look at BitTorrent - but this is not for the faint-of-heart
:-)

http://www.bittorrent.com/

Also use Google for other info.

Still works, you just have to add a few lines to your HOSTS file-

Do these Torrent applications have search features like WinMX and
Shareaza do? If not where do you find all your files you want to
download?

For music, I like Soulseek: www.slsknet.org

For files, some people swear by eMule, but I've never got it to work
here.
