Mike -- We've spent lots of time looking at the problem and all the evidence
pointed to a problem with Mosaic -- we just received a message from a user
who tried the latest alpha release of Mosaic 2.0 and the Blast search window 
worked.  We've also put up the Alpha 3 release and it corrected the problem
for us as well.

Please give Alpha 3 a try and let us know if this does the trick

Herve,
   I have tried mosaic 2.0 alpha3 and the blast search window is fine.
   alpha 3 is a 32bit application which requires users to install win32 to
   use.
