[gui-talk] Losing Position On Google Search Results Page

[Ed Lain]

Hi! Gerald. I use Window-Eyes and have exactly the same problem. Don't know
why. I just groan and bare it.

Subject: [gui-talk] Losing Position On Google Search Results Page


Using Google as my search engine with IE 8 and JAWS 9, I have lately been
encountering an annoying problem on the Google search results page.
Whenever I click on one of the search results using Enter, I am taken to
that page.  But when I press Alt-left arrow or select Back from the Context
menu to return to the Search Results page, I am taken not to the link I just
clicked on, but rather to the beginning of the search results.  Then I have
to use header navigation to return to my original position on the Search
Results page.  So, for example, if I select the fifth result on the page,
and then return to the results page, I land at the very beginning of the
search results  rather than back at the heading for the fifth result.
Strangely, this behavior doesn't seem to happen if I use Bing or Yahoo as my
search engine.  What's going on?  Is there some Google setting I need to
adjust  so that I am always returned to my original point of origin on the
results page rather than to the beginning of the search results?  Thanks.

Gerald
