The earlier versions of jaws had no issue such as I'm seeing. At work for instance, I use jaws 7 with no problem.

Tom, I did a search on the page and on the results screen I get the same as you. I think it's down to the way the table has been constructed; it's not straightforward. The results are presented in what looks like a non-uniform table, but JAWS doesn't say that - I've not noticed before whether it ever does in Internet Explorer? There are five columns, #, relevance, author, title long and date. Each search result has one entry in each of the columns, but underneath the author, title long and date cells is another one giving the location and book number. It's like each row is split into two half way through. Although there may be many entries in each column, pressing Alt + Control + DownArrow in the author, title long or date columns only goes as far as the first "merged" cell and then says bottom of column. What does seem to work is to press Alt + Control + LeftArrow at that point to move back to the # column, then you can move down to the next row and then across using the usual keys. It's cumbersome though. The DownArrow command takes you through the table as expected, cell by cell. I noticed as well on the search page there is a link to a text only version of the catalogue which also has a number of search facilities. I tried the single search term option and it gave the results non-tabulated. Annoyingly the table is ordered by relevance and the non-tabulated version is ordered by title, and I can't find a way to change either of them to do a direct comparison of the results, but I did the same search on both versions and got the same number of results.
