This happened to me, so I'm putting it here for future reference: The problem is that the local Adobe Search cache is corrupted. Open the Preferences dialog (Ctrl-K or Menu: Edit/Preferences). Choose Search, click "Purge Cache contents" or even uncheck "Enable fast find". – rpilkey – 2011-04-18T13:32:50.720

Answering myself: The problem is that the local Adobe Search cache is corrupted. Open the Preferences dialog (Ctrl-K or Menu: Edit/Preferences). Choose Search, click "Purge Cache contents" or even uncheck "Enable fast find".
