your symptoms were much the same as mine; i got the index but no results.
instead, on the right-hand pane i got
Navigation to the webpage was canceled
What you can try:
Retype the address.
i messed around (i think i just searched for several terms) and got another
message
script error
an error has occurred in the script on this page.
line; 1
char; 1
error; 'htmlhelp' is undefined
code; 0
url; res://ieframe.dll/navcancl.htm
do you want to continue running scripts on this page?
after looking at ieframe.dll and deciding it was ok, i looked at the files
povray.chw and povray.chm. i deleted povray.chw to no effect. i looked at
povray.chm properties and saw it was blocked. i unblocked it and all was fine.
just now i renamed the files and downloaded another povray.chm and got the first
error message, but i could not replicate the second error message. i unblocked
the new povray.chm and all was fine.
this was on win7 ultimate x64.
your symptoms and mine seem too similar to be unrelated.
and some of the stuff i outlined may be out of order or even memory-fabricated,
i kept only notes of error messages, not steps etc.
