Hi,
Wow I'm not happy to see this change at Amazon.  I tried searching the 
normal way I always do with windows xp home edition and jaws 7.0 and you're 
right it is broken indeed.  However, if you want to indulge in masochistic 
torture and read through your page of search results and find the link you 
want with virtual cursor disabled if you enter on the link you choose it 
will work.  Odd that this makes a difference but it seemed to do so for me. 
But it surely isn't an optimal work around in my opinion.  But I just 
thought I'd offer it for the benefit of those who might have Amazon's ear 
and are more technically savvy than myself so as to enlighten them.
Robin

hi. I'm not sure how on earth you searched for something on the page,
because when I go to it, it's a bunch of XML code. Amazon is just so
totally screwed!
