A search for the top quark in $$p\bar{p}$$ collisions at a center of mass energy of 1.8 TeV using the Collider Detector at Fermilab is described. A study of events selected by requiring an energetic electron, missing transverse energy, and two or more jets excludes at 95% confidence level the Standard Model production and decay of $$t\bar{t}$$ pairs if the top quark mass is between 40 and 77 GeV/$c^2$. The observed electron + multijet data are consistent with W boson production.
