Yes, I have tried it without luck. The issue is not necessarily of any clutter but Jaws not recognizing the edit box at all.
I have now downgraded to IE 8 and Google is working as it ought to be. Many thanks to all who very kindly replied to my query. One list member has suggested upgrading to Jaws 12 in order to fix the problem with IE 9. If this is the case, I must share my disappointment in Freedom Scientific for sinking so low by not fixing such a basic issue for Jaws 11 users. I have remained a faithful Jaws customer ever since I first used Jaws 4 in 2003 and would of course be upgrading to the latest Jaws version when we upgrade to Windows 7 in the new year but... This one is truly below the belt.

Additionally, doing a control+insert+home puts focus on the first edit on a page, in this case the search edit. hth Doris >That's right!
