Stable build 10.0.0.2385 works fine.

I would be grateful for your assistance,

curious. what’s the exception message? NRE?

Reproduced. As a workaround, can you open RegEdit, go to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RemObjects\Elements\Water

and create a value called “SearchTerm” and set it to an arbitrary string? (this value stores the last term you searched for; it looks like some recent regression makes not fail if that is not set at all, which would only happen on systems where search was never once used in Water, which is why we didn’t notice it. ;).

Fixed for the next build.

Many thanks Mark. That did the trick.
