Greg,
Yes, that's why I use it, as well. It's an easy way to drill down to one
or
two specific product offerings, especially when the search term is vague
or
all-encompassing.
For example when I put in "APC UPS" to look for an uninterruptable power
source, I was given a list of 5 of their models, each with a different
power
capacity, along with pricing. Cant get much better than that unless you go
to a Tag It site or a comparison shopping site.

Gerald,
It's just a personal preference in my case. When I am looking for a
particular product on Amazon I like the uncluttered simple interface of
research it. It will list five products that match my search criteria
along
with the price and when I see one I am interested in I click on it and it
takes me to the item on Amazon's web site. I too use the amazon web site
often as well but it's nice to have the research option especially when I
am
in a hurry to get info on a particular product.

Could someone explain the advantages of using the Amazon.com option in
Research It versus visiting Amazon.com directly? Using JAWS 16 with
Windows
7, I have no trouble either navigating the Amazon.com site or making
purchases. And for those who find the regular Amazon.com site somewhat
cluttered or difficult to navigate, there is always the accessible version
which is optimized for screen readers. The trouble with Research It is
that
when a web site is modified, Research It often no longer works well with
that site, if at all. Although the Research It feature was useful and
convenient when it was originally introduced, many users are now reporting
problems with it, and FS should considerdropping it from future releases
of
JAWS.

well, to tell you the truth, when it first came out, i tried it and
didn't find it something i would use so i stopped using it and that's
why i said that. end of story and sorry to have offend anyone.

browser and it always works for me. you all have a great day.

Dave,
Thanks. I just can't wrap my head around how such comments can even be
made
by anyone.

If you never used it, then how do you know it is sh*t?
It is a great feature and gets used a lot here.
