Hello Dave.
You have two ways to do this if the research it option that you are wanting
to use is your default option you can press "Jaws key + control + shift +
Windows key + R? when you press this keystroke a dialog box is brought into
view where you can type your word or phrase. If on the other hand you either
cannot or do not want to bring up the input box for example the research
option that you are wanting to use is not your default are the phrase that
you are wanting to use is already in the document that you are viewing you
do the following. You read an e-mail and are curious why someone is having
trouble getting the forecast for their city and state in this case Phoenix
Arizona. Next you select Phoenix Arizona with normal selection keystrokes in
this case read word by word until you hear Phoenix and then hold the shift
key down while doing your read word by word keystroke until you have
selected Phoenix Arizona so for example do "control + shift key + right
arrow" until you have selected Phoenix Arizona. Now run the Weather
Underground research command and the forecast should be shown as shown
below.

Hello Dave.
If you want to search based on a phrase you need to highlight the phrase.
I hope this helps.

Hi All, I note that the recent patch added Weather Underground to the
available headings in Research It.
When I experimented with getting the weather for Phoenix Arizona it returned
Phoenix Illinois.
How do you get the feature to recognize more than one word in a search;
ditto for dictionary entries.
Thanks, Mitch
