I have Eclipse Indigo and Helios installed. In both of them, if I use the search box in the help page, it will start the indexing process and then Eclipse crashes when it has indexed about 4%. I'm able to use the table of contents but without searching, it's very hard to find what I'm looking for.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Chose Help Contents from the Help menu
2. Search anything on the Help page

This is a bug in Oracle JRE 7. This should be fixed in the latest update of the JRE. If that does not work for you, switch back to JRE 6.
