Hi Richard,

It's true that the NetResults search engine doesn't work with
MRJ 2.1.  It also has problems with newer versions of Java on
Linux.  There isn't a fix for the MRJ problem at this point, and
downgrading to MRJ 2.0 might cause problems with your browser.
The only thing that we can suggest is to use Sherlock to index
the CD by content, then search with Sherlock.  It's not the most
graceful solution, but it does work.  

We will be releasing a new version of the Perl CD Bookshelf in 
the Summer sometime, which will use a newer, more reliable search
engine.  

Thanks,
