Build Identifier: 1.5.1.2

While doing analysis of the website usage, I noticed that the logs included 404 errors for files that apparently don't exist.  It is not clear why there are attempts to fetch these files, as they are not being directly attempted by the users.  They would contribute to the delay, however, as the request has to be sent to the server, and the 404 response sent back to the client, before the page can be completely rendered in the browser.
One of the causes appears to be in the epf-web-search.jar file that is placed in the search folder. 

Reproducible: Always

This is an invalid request as EPF Composer doesn't support applet search.
