Hi Daniel,

When you are on a Google result page, some of the results will be indented, 
indicating they are related to the result above them.  For example, I am 
looking for "crockpot" as my search request.

This is what you get on the first page:

Crockpot Recipes - More than 1400 Crockpot Recipes for the Crock ... The 
crockpot recipes index has over 1400 recipes for appetizers, beef, ground 
beef, chicken and turkey, pork, desserts, vegetables.

applesauce. ... Crockpot Recipes - More than 1400 Crockpot Recipes for the

        southernfood.about.com/od/ crockpotdessertrecipes/r/bl97c3.htm - 
30k - Cached - Similar pages
        [ More results from southernfood.about.com ]



The first item lists crockpot recipes.  The one below is indented, with JAWS 
saying block quote start Slow Cooker Apple Butter..."  The second item is 
related to the one above, but not related to the one below it.  The block 
quote here is helpful as it lets you know how the page is prepared.

Yes, you could turn off block quote announcements and let it read the page. 
But Google took the time to arrange the page so you would know why these 
listings are arranged in the way they do.

In Google's About Google section, there's a nice explanation as to how to 
interpret the results page.  You can find it here:
