  Hello List

   

  Ok if you have problems with Google Instant go to settings and then press R 
(radio button) 5 times and you should hear "do not use Google instant" now 
press the spacebar.

  Now do C (combo box) and arrow down to say 20, change it from 10 to whatever 
you want, 20 is the next lowest number of results on the page.

  Tab to save settings and press spacebar.

  Now each time you go to www.google.co.uk you will not hear "screen reader 
users click here to turn Google instant off" and it should stay like until you 
change a Google search setting.

  Hello folks, I just put Google Instant in to the Google search and it tells 
me that you have have to have Google Chrome or others.  I don't think Jaws 
works with this and I haven't got it on my computers.

   

  Cheers

    Hi Eleanor, I couldn't sort it either, so I've gone back to google 
accessible search. There's no google instant on there. The url is

    http://labs.google.com/accessible/

      While I appreciat I am responding to a very old e-mail, I have just tried 
the link below but am still being driven mad by this Google Instant.  Has 
anyone managed to resolve this issue?  I have turned it off but it just comes 
back again and again.

        Hi Brian

         

        I also found that I could not turn off Google Instant, even though I 
kept amending my search settings.

        However, after some Googling, I found a URl which seems to work.  It is

        http://www.google.co.uk/webhp?complete=0

         

        I have had no problems with this site, the searches work fine.
