I had to reinstall my machine, so I installed Firefox 0.9 as browser I am using WinXP and R 1.9.1 beta. Now search in R html help does not work. I checked that the Java VM is working correctlt, Sun's test site says my installation is OK. Firefoxalso tells me that Applet Searchengine loaded Applet Searchengine started it just does not find anything. Does anybody know how to solve this? Erich

Both Java and JavaScript need to be enabled for the help.start() search engine to function properly. I reviewed the release notes at http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/releases/ and did not see anything relating to Java there, as had been the case with prior releases. The message that you are getting on the status line suggests that the R search applet is being found and properly enabled, which is typically the primary source of problems. Check the above and let us know. Marc Schwartz

Works for me. Did it work with Firefox 0.8? (I upgraded from 0.8.) I would try 0.8 and then upgrade.
