| As subject: Search function not working.
|
| It worked normally after recent re-installation. Now, immediately I
| run it a small window appears over the middle of the main window: it
| says Search Companion in the title bar, there is a small yellow
| triangle with an exclamation mark and an OK button. In the main window
| it says "To start your search, follow the instructions in the left
| pane." But in the left pane there are no instructions, only
| the`Searching for ...' and `Looking in ...' messages and the Stop
| button, as if it really was searching. But it isn't. Nothing is
| happening.
|
| I looked up Search Companion in the Help but it didn't (help, that
| is).
|
| Any advice appreciated.
