Re: [JAWS-Users] Amazon.com not working in research it
The command is, insert spacebar followed by the letter R. Type in the item you are looking for and then tab one time. Type the letter A for Amazon and press enter. This will bring up 5 search results for that product. It gives you a short description and the price. If you want more information about one of the results or you want to purchase it, just press enter on the name and it takes you to Amazon so you can purchase it or see the reviews on that item and also get more information about it. I just find it to be quick and easy. Almost too easy to spend money. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Pinky Sent: Saturday, September 19, 2015 12:29 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Amazon.com not working in research it Hi, Can you explain to me what exactly what research it in jaws does for you over the regular amazon search?

There is a work around for it. But first, let me explain what causes this, at least what caused the problems for me and how to fix it. When you use the screen reader optimized version of amazon.com, I believe it puts a cookie on your computer. The cookie tells the browser to default to that site. This in turn screws with the research-it feature because it is expecting the main site, not the screen reader optimized version. Hence, you get "press escape to close results viewer" with no results. The fix is to delete cookies. Then, try doing the research-it function and it should work. If you are signed into an account, I'd suggest signing out first, close the browser, then delete the cookies. As a side note, under advanced in internet options, I have it set to not save encrypted pages to disk and to empty temporary internet files when the browser is closed. Hope this information is helpful. Shane ps: I just tried the research-it function with amazon and it works.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Amazon.com not working in research it
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.

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.

I sure hope they don't drop it. I use the Amazon research it several times a week and never have a problem. It's convenient and fast for finding an item.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Amazon.com not working in research it
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.

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.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Amazon.com not working in research it
Don't blame Research It. It worked for me yesterday, and today it's not. I've changed nothing on my computer, neither JAWS nor Internet Explorer. I suspect that Amazon has changed something with their API on the web site that has resulted in the current problem -- just as those using MLB had problems some time back. It's all due to the underlying web sites changing something so that Research It can no longer get the information.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Amazon.com not working in research it
I reported the amazon issue to FS a while back. There is a work around for it. But first, let me explain what causes this, at least what caused the problems for me and how to fix it. When you use the screen reader optimized version of amazon.com, I believe it puts a cookie on your computer. The cookie tells the browser to default to that site. This in turn screws with the research-it feature because it is expecting the main site, not the screen reader optimized version. Hence, you get "press escape to close results viewer" with no results. The fix is to delete cookies. Then, try doing the research-it function and it should work. If you are signed into an account, I'd suggest signing out first, close the browser, then delete the cookies. As a side note, under advanced in internet options, I have it set to not save encrypted pages to disk and to empty temporary internet files when the browser is closed. Hope this information is helpful. Shane ps: I just tried the research-it function with amazon and it works.
