remind me how you found out it exists?
Hi damon
You don't need to save the html file to disk, that is just what I did when I was playing around with the site. You just need to go to
http://local.google.co.uk/?output=html
and it will work. Unfortunately there is no link to the html version in the regular version, which would be useful, as I'm not sure how you're supposed to know that it exists.

thanks all.
I'm running jaws 5.0 at home. I'll take a look on my jaws 6.2 at work on monday but this is really annoying.
What is different about this edit field that jaws 5, at least, doesn't pick up on?
And does this mean google.com is going the same route?
It sounds a bit fiddly from what people have said so far: save the HTM file to disk and then relaunch it. Or, go out of virtual cursor mode and then try it.
What's going on.
I was ready to march down to the new Googleplex in London and protest loudly about this so that they don't get any ideas to alter any of their other services. And what's worrying is that whatever the mighty Google does, others may follow.
So, do the complaints go to Google? Or to FreedomScientific? Or both? And exactly what should the complaint be?

You're not wrong. Its totally inaccessible. There is an edit field there
where normally you would type your search criteria. There's also a search
button. But Jaws only wraps from top to bottom with perhaps a few links in
between.

I am hoping beyond hope that I am wrong on this one. I am really quite angry
and my blood is boiling.
Google Local, a service that I loved and used often, now appears to be inaccessible.
I've tried several ways into it but there is no longer an accessible search
box on the page. Say hello to dragging maps.
Please, someone else try it and tell me I'm wrong. http://www.google.co.uk/lochp?hl=en
much love
