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

[albert griffith]

It was and is about Google search but he couldn't get the browser to go back
a page when he wanted.  You have to read the last message first to
understand beccause you've forgotten how the thread ran.

Whatever. I thought the whole thing was about Google search. If it's not, 
that's different, and i'm not following that. Thanks.

I noticed someone say that somewhere along the line, but I didn't remember
it being the basis of thread. In fact, what I remember was something about
that Google Search had changed in some way and had become hard to use, in
some way that wasn't clear to me.

Not arguing. Just don't get this.

The person who initiated the thread had a problem using the backspace key to
go back a page in the browser on the google site.

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.
