Tony,

I can't get the Finder interface to work for me either. So, from an admin account, open a terminal window. Then do:

sudo chmod -R o+rx /Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/AdobeHelpData

It will ask you for the admin's password again. It may give you a warning about "do you really know what you are doing?"

BUT... as I said in a previous post, I still had trouble with just read permission. I had to give write permission to others to get the search to work right. If you find that you need that as well, then do the same command except put o+w.

Good luck.
