When I try this address, I get the same Google Search Settings page on which
I am unable to change or modify anything. There are five headings,but there
seems to be nothing under each heading except for theResults Per Page
Heading under which are a list of values from 10 to 50, but no apparent way
to select the one you want. Under the headings Google Instant Predictions
and Where Results Open, there is nothing to select. Previously, I could
just turn the virtual PC cursor off with the JAWS command Insdert-Z to
change the search settings, but this no longer works. Obviously, something
is different now.

Hi listers. Using IE 8 with XP and JAWS 9, I discovered this morning
that
Google.com has apparently changed its home page yet again, and now I am
unable to change my preferences on the search settings page. There seems
to
be no way to turn Google Instant on or off like there used to be, nor is
there any apparent way to change the number of results per page from the
default value of 10. And I could not find any button to save the search
preferences. I tried with the virtual PC cursor on and off (Insert Z),
but
nothing seems to work. I was last able to successfully change my search
settings a few days ago. I think I heard a brief message that my browser
was outdated and no longer supported or something like that, which , of
course is nonsense, because IE 8 is the latest bersion supported by XP.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on with Google? Are they
conspiring
with MS to force us to upgrade to Windows 8? Is there any way to change
the
number of results per page and insure that Google Instant is turned off,
short of switching to Firefox, which I despise and use only for its
Webvisum
function? Thanks.
