Hi Amro.
I agree completely with everything you've said. Anyhow, to the matter in hand.
I can get to my search preferences, after as you say having to carry out a
totally unnecessary search.
Here I can now find the options, but no matter what I try I simply cannot get
the desired result! There doesn't appear to be any buttons or check boxes to
indicate that I want search results displayed in a new window.
This all used to work beautifully, so why oh why did they feel the need to
comprehensively naws it up! A very frustrated and unsmilie face!

The new changes to Google's web search homepage are completely illogical
IMHO and it makes changing search preferences a nightmare. After being lost for
ages I managed to get to search settings by clicking the link "turn off instant
search", the link to search options then appeared. You may have to do a dummy
search first to be able to get there though. How logical is that?
Not sure this will work but here's below the URL to search settings. See if
you can get to there directly
http://www.google.co.uk/preferences?hl=en
From reading around it looks that you will lose any settings you've made when
you clear your cash. Another genius change to Google, not.
I've no idea what Google designers were thinking but these new modifications
are utter pants *frustrated*
HTH,
Amro

Hi List.
This has always been my preferred option when using Google, I like my chosen
link to open in a new browser window. However, after recent changes, meant to
no doubt wow and delight sighted users, I can no longer make this happen. I
simply cannot make this option my preferred settings within Preferences/Search
Settings.
Has anyone been able to successfully make changes and, more importantly,
have them stick within Googles Search Settings?
I can use JAWS 10, 11 or 12 with IE8 in case that's relevant.
Regards.
Darran
