Google want you to download & install their own browser, Chrome. Firefox
is like it and, for several of our purposes, replicates Chrome nearly
and more accessibly, as well as having better keyboard support for
functionalities.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Unable to Change Google Search Settings
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.
Gerald
