[NFBCS] Websites with search

[Nicole Torcolini]

            Sometimes, they keep it, but, instead of just having the search
box on the page, you have to press a button or visit a particular link.
Also, to add insult to injury, some websites use "/" as the text for the
search link, and JAWS may not read that. If you do find a search link that
is labeled with just "/", you can use the JAWS utilities to relabel it.

Subject: [NFBCS] Websites with search

 

More and more of the websites I've used for years seem to have done away
with the ability to search for a particular product.  It seems to coincide
with them also adding AccessiB, but that could just be coincidence.  I don't
get it.  Instead of going to exactly what I want, I have to hunt through
layer after layer.  I end up Googling for what I want instead.  I just think
it's a weird thing not to have search.
