so, one word searches are the key? not a string of items then? Maybe I think I should help it along giving it more words to search for than necessary,lol. It's of a different beast than like say on web pages to search for stuff that you put in the edit box and typically tab to ok button to generate the search. Windows 7 search seems to work very differently or, it's just me...

It is all about learning what terms to use. Use the language of the computer and it seems to get really good. I'm finding that I use Search more and more for things I know what I'm looking for. No quotes or any other symbol or your computer will look for those. For me, it is much easier to start typing Music, Excel, Word, Notepad, ... than go hunting around in the programs or other places or even repeated Highlighted letters. On my computer, for example, Notepad can be found with NO or NOT always. Just don't get frustrated and keep trying to learn the language. -----Original Message----- From: Trish Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2012 11:04 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] start menu search box? I'd like to chime in on this thread concerning the search box issue. I just need some clearification on using this thang. I know I guess it's geared to try to figure out what it thinks you want to search for, but most of the time it's results are all wrong. How do you tell it your in control of the search item and not the computer to type in something to search and then do I just press enter there or maybe should I tab to an ok button? Are there tricks to mastering this search box field to get what you want? Maybe put it in quotes or something?

You are correct, I have recently added a printer. But typing the whole word network still brings nothing close except managing network passwords. Nothing close to what I want. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of dgcnc Sent: Tuesday, April 17, 2012 2:10 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] start menu search box? Can you get what you seek by typing Network? It sounds like you have added the printer recently and it has something to do with net in the name. You may have to type more or be more specific about what you seek. -----Original Message----- From: Kliphton Sent: Tuesday, April 17, 2012 8:36 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [JAWS-Users] start menu search box? Okay, didn't know how to word this question. When I go to the top of my start menu in windows 7, there is a search box. Up until about 3 weeks ago when I typed the word "net" it would bring up my network, so I could manage the devices, see what was connected, and let me make any changes. Now when I type this word, all it brings up is something to do with my all in one printer. Even when I go all the way down, it doesn't bring up the network, it says "see more results" Is there any way to reset this without restoring to factory defaults?
