When you select Help from TextMate, notice that a new icon appears in your dock. If you hover the mouse over it, it has a title of “Help Viewer”, you can control-click the icon and select “Show in Finder”, and you should see, that it reveals that the Help Viewer is located under Core Services -- I did not write this piece of software.
As for the problem you are seeing: after you have clicked on a search result, be sure to click the main window once more, now try the Find dialog, this will make it work (by making the HTML view the first responder) -- this is a problem with the Help Viewer, it also manifests itself by not allowing the arrow up/down keys to scroll the document, after clicking a search result.

As a developer I am always interested in improving my skills. Given your attention to detail and high standards, would you have any software on the marked I could try out for inspiration?
