The problem is with your machine (and some other people's). That search engine does work on a properly configured machine.
Since haven't given us anything to go on (like which OS, browser, R version (there is no such thing as R 1.8) ...) I can only suggest you look at the R 1.9.0 beta which is currently available, as the search page now has a link to the Installation and Administration manual which now contains detailed information. A quick check list: javascript enabled java installed and enabled if Linux/Unix, Sun JRE 1.4.2_02/3/4 are broken. Oh, and this comes up quite frequently, so you can look in the archives of this list.
