The new changes to Google's web search homepage are completely illogical
IMHO and it makes changing search preferences a nightmare. After being lost
for ages I managed to get to search settings by clicking the link "turn off
instant search", the link to search options then appeared. You may have to
do a dummy search first to be able to get there though. How logical is that?
Not sure this will work but here's below the URL to search settings. See if
you can get to there directly
http://www.google.co.uk/preferences?hl=en
From reading around it looks that you will lose any settings you've made
when you clear your cash. Another genius change to Google, not.
I've no idea what Google designers were thinking but these new
modifications are utter pants *frustrated*
HTH,

Subject: [access-uk] Google and Search Results Opening in New Window
Hi List.
This has always been my preferred option when using Google, I like my chosen
link to open in a new browser window. However, after recent changes, meant
to no doubt wow and delight sighted users, I can no longer make this happen.
I simply cannot make this option my preferred settings within
Preferences/Search Settings.
Has anyone been able to successfully make changes and, more importantly,
have them stick within Googles Search Settings?
I can use JAWS 10, 11 or 12 with IE8 in case that's relevant.
Regards.
Darran
