Following a hint from Matt Neuburg, I managed to solve this problem by deleting ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.helpui.

Incidentally, deleting this file also seems to help when I have another problem. If I delete and regenerate the help book HTML, the old help book is still displayed by the program. I need to delete that cache file in order to get the new help book loaded. For some reason, I don't need to delete the file in order to have changes in the help book recognised (after reindexing with Help Indexer), only when I replace the old book with a new book. But for whatever reason, deleting the cache works.

I have created a Help Book that is indexed and recognised as part of the Help function, running under Leopard. The Spotlight search works fine (when the user types search terms directly into the help menu). However, when the Help application has started, and the user types a search term into the "Ask a question" search field, the progress indicator to the left of the search field comes up, and nothing else happens. That is, the progress indicator spins as if its working, but no search terms ever come up. I have abstracts, titles and keywords as part of my help files. Has anyone else encountered this problem?
