There is a bug in Netscape’s Java Virtual Machine for Communicator 4.0 that causes many java applets to crash when they are iconified to the Windows 95 toolbar. Iconifying the search applet under Communicator 4.0 on Windows 95 will always result in a loss of search contents. If you encounter this behavior, simply close the applet and click on the Search button in the main frameset to restore it.
