In OS X 10.4 and earlier, you could configure Help Viewer not to search the web for support articles related to whatever it was you were getting help with. In Leopard, however, this setting appears to be hidden as a result of the removal of most of Help Viewer's GUI.
To prevent searching for support articles, open Terminal and type this command:
defaults write com.apple.helpviewer HVIncludesKBSearches -bool NO
This can be useful if you don't want Help Viewer to contact Apple about your searches, or to just speed up your searching. To restore the default behavior, repeat the above command, but change NO to YES.
[robg adds: This works as described.]
