try using either: http://www.google.com/accessible
or http://www.google.com/m The second link is maximized for use with mobile devices and is much faster and less cluttered, but the results are sometimes kind of messed up and hard to deal with in their mobile mode. -----Original Message----- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of East, Robin Sent: Wednesday, August 31, 2011 1:22 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS and Google Now, does Google have an accessibility feature or search that will fix all of this?

Yes the Instant Search screws things up. Unfortunately, the link to turn Instant Search off only applies to the current session. When you search again, it is turned back on! They were also hiding the edit box initially, which caused problems for screen readers. I think they did away with that. I have found that getting out of Forms Mode and refreshing the page usually solves the problem of the typed text not appearing in the edit box. This can be accomplished by hitting the Escape key twice. Now, you may need to press e to find the edit box again. If you do not have Forms Mode set to automatic, press the Space bar to enter Forms Mode. I would rather Google remember that I do not want Instant Search. They should also keep the interface simple! *Don Marang* Vinux Software Development Coordinator - vinuxproject.org <http://www.vinuxproject.org/> There is just so much stuff in the world that, to me, is devoid of any real substance, value, and content that I just try to make sure that I am working on things that matter. -- Dean Kamen On 8/31/2011 9:41 AM, East, Robin wrote: > I have noticed on my home and on my work computers using JAWS 12 and > one PC on XP the other using Win 7 that when I go to do a google > search and turns forms mode on I can type in the information or the > search criteria and for some reason what I typed is not there.
