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

[Don Moore]

There's a link for screen reader users that fixes that.

In my case, I cannot get rid of the autofill feature of google.  I have to
write the search term in another application and then cut and paste it into
the google edit box.

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?  Google seems to be becoming less and less accessible every day.
Maybe the NFB should look into this issue.  Thanks for any feedback.

Gerald
