Dear John 

Thanks for the tip  .
I edited your url to http://www.google.co.uk/advanced_search 
And this link worked also.
I have not tried this yet on my Netbook which is where the problem existed.
I use Firefox on my Netbook as IE runs slowly on that setup.
However testing the page on my desktop  using IE you may have solved
another annoyance.
For some reason Jaws 10 sometimes seems to struggle to find the search edit
box  and I have to close all my IE pages for it to work. So far the advanced
search edit box seems more reliable.

Thanks 

David Griffith

Hi David,
I had the same problem here in the states and just switched my search page
from http://www.google.com to:
http://www.google.com/advanced_search

I thought I would report on solving the peculiar behaviour of Jaws with
firefox where it did not see the search results in a google search. .

I completely un-installed and re-installed Jaws with no real improvement.
All that happened is that it became possible to read the search results by
ending and restarting Jaws.

 

I had been using as my search web site the www.google.co.uk web page.

I have now  switched to the Google Access page.

 

So far, touch wood, jaws is now reading the search results in the Google
Access version so this seems a work around for this problem. I do not know
if the searches will be optimised for UK users but I will give it a try.

 

Regards

 

David griffith
