Search engine for LINUX MOZILLA

This is covered in the R-admin manual, linked to from that HTML page.
Please follow carefully the advice there.  In particular ensure that you 
have a version of Java that is said to work (preferably the latest, 
1.5.0).

Hi,

I am looking for help on searc engine at R htmlhelp page. Here is the system settings:

R 2.0.0 (2004-10-04).

Installed at Linux RH 9.0 (kernal 2.4.20-8) and FC2 (kernal 2.5.8).

The web broswer is
Mozilla 1.7
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040616

From help.start(), web broswer started ok. However, the search engine does not respond. The status bar only shows done. In Windows settings, it shows "Applet started " or something similar.

I tried a few plugins, did not work.

Any suggest?

Yuandan
