[gui-talk] google has changed and searches are now difficult

[Joel Deutsch]

Hi,

How does the issue you're addressing here relate to the question as to 
whether Google has recently become less accessible to use?

thanks very much.

On some pages, for whatever reason, backspace doesn't work. the other
Windows keystroke to go back a page is Alt with Left Arrow. Try this
and see if it solves the problem of not being able to go back a page.
I wish that headings were used to indicate each result on Google's
other search pages, such as the groups search. Give me a page with
headings and I'm a happy camper.
