You clearly missed a class in logic. Have -you- used google? with or without google instant off? With what reader? What was the problem?
I use it daily with Jaws and NVDA (without toggling that instant deal), and I have no problems.

I think this comes down to your idea that we should all toss our shovels in favor of wooden picks, as long as the wooden picks have Microsoft engraved somewhere on them.

C'mon, Ty, she's a Microsoft fangirl! And one of the most ardent ones I've ever come in contact with, to be sure. But, hey, if your tools accomplish the tasks and all that...

Typical of this damn computer and Windows Vista. Junk appearing and functions changing randomly.



I am on google many times a day and haven't looked at my cookies in months!

If you don't turn it off, Google tries to guess what you are searching for. And you won't necessarily hear what is being added to your terms before you hit enter.

There seems to be a new link asking users of screen readers to click to turn off Google Instant what ever that is. I haven't seen that before today.

Subject: Google accessible search gone



The google accessible search interface, which was here:

<http://labs.google.com/accessible/>http://labs.google.com/accessible/



is now gone/inactive, and when looking for reasoning, I found the following blog related to google's labs development/experiments, so seems will just have to go back to using the normal google search for now...:

<http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/more-wood-behind-fewer-arrows.html>http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/more-wood-behind-fewer-arrows.html



Pity, since the accessible search interface was quite a bit cleaner, and also ranked search results a bit differently based on the 'cleanliness' of their content, but anyway.
