Adrian,
You can also set google to show you more results per page. The
choices are 10, 20, 30, 50, or 100 and you can set your preferences
by clicking on search settings on the main google search page.
I tried what you said about using insert+8 while on a heading on a
google results page to get the result number and this only worked for
me in IE, on FF it just repeated the heading text and heading type,
but did not additionally say the google result number.
I learned a few good google tricks from the Google It! tek talk radio
show. For example, you can have google return for you only results
within a certain web site, by typing in after your search words
site:www.whatever the site name is.com (no space before and after the
colon). This is useful if you're having trouble finding with Jaws
something in a huge web site. Using the site command will at least
bring you to the right page on the site, then you can insert + f to
find where the key word is within the page.

I'm writing about a useful feature I discovered this weekend. I'm
not referring to headings being announced at level 1, 2, 3, etc.
Instead, I've discovered that JAWS can be made to announce how many
headings have been read on the google results page.
As everyone knows, google displays ten results at a time. I usually
lose count by the time I get near the bottom, and so my next press
of h takes me back to the top instead of letting me go to the next
page of results. However, if I press the "say line" (insert-8)
command on a heading, it will indicate which result number I've
reached. When I hit "10," I know to arrow down to get to the next
page of results.
Maybe others on this list will also find this feature helpful.
