Francis,
I'm not clear as to what you mean below.  I, also, use the Google search 
quite a bit.  But I've apparently made myself oblivious to Jaws saying 
"block quote" while I'm on a Google page, because I've never noticed 
anything meaningful that I could figure out about that announcement.  In my 
experience, the search results are numbered, and each numbered item contains 
the link to that source, and sometimes to a cache version of it, and also 
sometimes to related links, as you say.  But I never imagined that whether 
or not some blocks of the text were indented might be a meaningful signal to 
a sighted user.  Have I been missing some useful information about Google 
result listings?

I like having the block quote announcement on when I'm working in Google.
The results page will sometimes show, via block quote indents, related
results to my query.  If I had block quote off, I would not know this.

Yes, sometimes some of the things JAWS says can be redundant or not related
to what I am doing.  However, when I am exploring a new site, I like to know
as much as I can.  The more I know, the more I can enjoy the site.
