I found the problem. Thanks to Bill Rowe for his previous advice.

For some reason, a bunch of .m files were left in my home directory by
a previous session. These files are (all zero length):

-rw-r--r--  1 mannucci  502  0 Dec 13 11:05 Global.m
-rw-r--r--  1 mannucci  502  0 Dec 13 11:05 JLink.m
-rw-r--r--  1 mannucci  502  0 Dec 13 11:05 PacletManager.m
-rw-r--r--  1 mannucci  502  0 Dec 13 11:05 ResourceLocator.m
-rw-r--r--  1 mannucci  502  0 Dec 13 11:05 System.m
-rw-r--r--  1 mannucci  502  0 Dec 13 11:05 WebServices.m

These were found by Mathematica and messing up the session. Deleting
these and search seems to work fine again!

Thanks again.
