Sorry for re-posting the message but hopefully it might strike a chord with somebody the second time round. I have Google set up as my default engine in I.E. 7. I understand that You should be able to type in your search term directly into the address bar or use control+e. However, whatever I search for I am always taken to the google website but "%s" is always inserted into the google search box and my search term removed. I do ensure that the address bar edit box is blank before I enter my search term. It is nothing to do with JAWS. The same happens when JAWS is unloaded. Does anybody know what I am doing wrong.
