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.
