Hi Andy,I haven't got a site in mind at the moment, but I know I have found this helpful in the past.
A JAWS search would only search the text of the currently viewed page. And some sites, annoying though it is, don't have a search box or very helpfully named links. Basically I find this useful for relatively small but pretty crucial (in terms of specific information that can't be found elsewhere) sites; I don't know - sites that sell batteries for specific laptops (though of course they should have a search box); or sites that have info on some specific topic that not many others do but which don't make their site very easy to use. Also sites which just seem pretty difficult to use to start with, and which I can't be bothered to hunt around on; so I use google to find the specific info I'm after - it's another tool in the box.
Like I say I can't think of an example off the top of my head but I know I've used it in the past and it's pretty damn handy.

I guess I can't think of any sites that couldn't be searched by either a search box, or a JAWS search; presumably to use Google to search within asite, you have to have some knowledge of what the site is about in the firstplace. Do you have such a site in mind where Google would assist in the suggested way? - Andy----- Original Message ----- From: "Catherine Turner" <catherineturner2000@xxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, August 12, 2007 9:29 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Google searching | Hi Andy, | | What don't you understand?
