It is not possible to search for any help in the latest development builds of Apache NetBeans. IDE just throws exception [1] instead of opening a window with relevant help information.

*Steps to reproduce:*
 # Launch development build #20180320 of Apache NetBeans 9.0.
 # Type e.g. _properties_ into the *Search* field in the upper right corner of the IDE.
 # Press Enter.

*Expected:*

Standard help window is opened with relevant information.

*Actual:*

NetBeans opens an exception dialog.
