Hi David,
Yes, this is why I keep cortana turned off and the bing results turned off
in W-10, until the Edge browser is made accessible by Freedom Scientific.
This is why I keep a handy Google shortcut, on my desktop, as I am doing
internet searches using IE 11.
I can't wait until the Edge browser is made totally accessible with Jaws.
However, that looks like that may be a ways off yet.
Good luck...
Love God! with your heart, mind, and soul, that you might be blessed
reaching His goal.
Love your Neighbor as you would yourself, God will truly reward you with
good health.
Love God, your neighbor, as you love yourself, you will then be spiritually
balanced with wealth.
Love His Word that proceeds from His lips, then reflect on the heavens where
God sits.
Jim

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Windows 10: Edge is now used for web search results
from taskbar search box.
In windows 10, if you open the start menu, type some search terms, and open
a web search result, then until a few days ago, it used to open the search
in your default browser. The same applied if you were using Cortana, and it
didn't know the answer to your request.
However, Microsoft have changed this so these now open in the Edge browser,
irrespective of which browser you have set as your default browser.
Unfortunately, Edge is not accessible using Jaws or Window Eyes, though it
is at least partially accessible using NVDA or narrator.
This seems like a very surprising decision by microsoft, to make this change
before Edge is accessible by users of all the major screen readers. This is
a link to the announcement by microsoft:
