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

[Jude DaShiell]

There's only just some screen readers google recognizes.  nvda at least 
brought up a message to turn off instant google if you're a screen 
reader user, and after I connected to the google search page for the 
first time I had to hit up arrow once then enter to activate it.  Hope 
this helps.
