To turn Google Instant off (more durably): On the google page, Go to
options; Search Settings; and then go into the preferences now using h
for navigation by headings, and then arrow down and check the
radiobutton for google instant OFF. then Save your changes and exit.

It is because Google is making this page too fancy. 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!

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. I can do this several
times turning forms mode on and off going to top of page then jumping
back to the edit field and still text seems not to be echoed or even
written into the field. I cannot arrow back to see what is typed and
if
I turn JAWS Cursor on there is nothing to be found.
Any one experiencing this and what could be the issue here?
