When you open search, the defaultis to search subject. You can tab to a combo box where you change what field will be searched in. Tab further to an edit field where you type what you want to search for, then press enter.

I haven't played with search enough to see how to search more than one field at once. I would think you can, but I don't know how it is done. I suspect you are working in the wrong fields. Gene

I am obviously doing something wrong. I guess I'll just go back to doing my searches via the GMail web interface.

When I use the search field then try to tab to the list I get the full list of emails not the search results. I will try the ctrl+f keystroke and see if that behaves differently.

If you are using control shift f to open search and searching in that way, once you have done the search and the search is finished, tab twice to the list.

I have tried many times but I can never figure out how to look at a list of the resulting emails. I am assuming it is something special I have to do using NVDA but I could be very wrong about this. Any help would very much be appreciated. -- Dan Beaver (KA4DAN) -- Dan Beaver (KA4DAN)-- Dan Beaver (KA4DAN)
