I'm not sure why you are seeing this, search is working fine on both of my systems.  

What OS are you on? Can you attach a screen shot of the help system before it crashes?

In trying the same procedure today, the problem is no longer occurring.
I tried it several times and the error did not come back. I am not sure what the solution was but this occurred yesterday and the power down of the system may have helped. I therefore will assume that the problem may have been due to the operating system and that a reboot fixed the issue. I therefore will close the bug as "Not_Eclipse.
