Hi,
I think she is talking like the "E" command in Jaws.
Thanks for listnine,

Hello Estelita, how are you doing?
As far as search boxes, are you speaking of search boxes that are in
webpages itself?
I will list a couple of search events you can do.
To get to the search box, usually Google at the tool bar. This is
the bar that is right under the location bar, and you can get to it
by doing this. This is how I do it myself, so if there is a quicker
way, I am sure others will chime in.
Press Command + L to get to your location bar, and then just press
Tab.
you can also do the following.
Wrap around to the top of the window, and press the following command.
VO, or hold down Control + Option, and then hold down Shift,
followed by pressing Home. You will hear ToolBar, and just interact
with it by pressing VO + Shift + Down. Then, use VO navigational
keys, until you hear Google Search Text Field. Usually, just VO +
Right Arrow when you interact, and you will find it after a couple
of presses.
Lastly, you can do the following. This is probably the best way of
doing it. I say that, only because it is quick and efficient.
Bring up your item chooser, while in Safari. Do this by pressing BO
+ I. Once the item chooser comes up, type in google, or search, or
something similar to what the box is called, and you will be given a
list of items. Usually, the top one will be the one your looking
for, but just arrow up and down to make sure. Once found, just hit
enter, or VO + Space, to be brought to the item you chose.
Search Boxes and Edit Fiels on WebPages.
One of the quickest way to jump from edit elements is to do the
following.
Use VO + Command + J to jump from different controls. This does
edit boxes, checkboxes, buttons, and so fourth on webpages.
sometimes, it takes a little longer then expected should you be on a
bigger site. If the site has multiple control elements, then you
will be doing this command a couple of times to find what your
looking for. If you use this command however, do not immediately
type in the field. I found that even though it finds it corectly,
VO seems not to be focussed on that particular control item. This
is perhaps because of my settings I have, but just to be certain
your on the field, just VO navigate left, and then back with the
right arrow to be placed in the edit field.
Lastly, you can use the Item Chooser, with VO + I again. Just type
in edit, and you will find all edit fields that are associated with
the word.
I hope this helps.
