[gui-talk] Google Search Settings Page No Longer Accessible

[David Andrews]

It doesn't work, some of the controls are now Sliders which don't seem 
to be accessible!

>> Hi list.  Has anyone else noticed that you can no longer change your search preferences on the Google Search Settings page?  The radio boxes previously used to select a particular option under each heading seem to have vanished.  For instance, under the Google Instant heading, On and Off are listed, but there are no radio or check boxes to select the option you want.  And under the Number of Search Results Per Page heading, the numbers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 100 are listed, but there seems to be no way to select the number you want.  And nothing happens when you hit Space or Enter on the Save button, so there is apparently no way to activate it to save your preferences like you could before.  I have tried JAWS 9, NVDA and SA to Go with both IE 8 and Firefox, but can't select anything on the Search Settings page no matter what screen reader/browser combination I try.  Has Google suddenly made its Search Settings page inaccessible, and is there any work around for this problem?
