Google difficulties?The Accessible Google Search is still there for the time
being.

The google.co.uk site has come up with no edit box in it for me, but if I press
Enter on the link to shut off Google Instant, the screen reformats and there is
the edit box and search button. A bit weird, but works.

Hi Damon,
Try hitting the "Screen Readers click here to turn off Google instant", link
before attempting the edit box. With JFW I experienced this problem from time
to time. NVDAs grand, jumps straight intot he edxit box, and always accepts
the typed characters.
Regards,
Barry.

Hi there.
Increasingly I've been finding it hard to launch and use the Google website.
Often the search box isn't available to click into with my screenreader or it
renders with no links on it.
Am wondering if anyone else has had similar difficulties?
