Hello, everyone.

I am using Window-Eyes 7.5.4.1 with the Kindle for PC with Accessibility Plugin. I can get to the "search" box by pressing "Control-F," and I can enter a search string into the edit box. However, no matter which key or keys I press, I cannot select a particular occurrence of that search string and start reading from that point. Sometimes, the entire list of possibilities is read, but I cannot isolate any one of them. I know Loy has had success with this option. Could he or someone detail the keystrokes necessary to make this function work? with the old version, after typing in a string and pressing "Enter," the user only had to press "Tab" enough times to get to the "You are here" button, whereupon pressing the up or down arrow keys would read the various search results. I have tried using the "Search" function with the QT Support app running and with also with QT disabled.

Thanks very much for all help.

Craig
