Thanks for the detailed answer. Now I understand. Seems like a very useful feature so not sure why FS didn't keep in JAWS 16

Having Google results numbered or not numbered does not affect you, IF you do not use this feature often. If you are using Google and read results occasionally, this is not a problem. For some of us, we use this feature often to carry out certain responsibilities in life and the work we do. When I read the results and they are numbered, then as I go through each individually downward, I mentally note which numbered results are the best and would be the first to be researched. When at the bottom, then I can recall that numbers 2 and 5 are the first I need to research. Now, if the results are NOT numbered, then I must start from the top and perhaps go through them a couple of times to again orientate myself and determine where those results are which if numbered are a snap to access. Again, for those who do not use Google often, this may not be a concern. For others of us who must use Google as a considerable part of our daily life experiences, then time becomes a real factor. I am in the process of editing a book and moderate 3,300 members of Yahoogroups forums. For each I must do a great deal of research, not to mention other aspects of my computer operations. I hope this helps to explain it further for everyone. If you need a certain feature to be easily accessible in JAWS to make your life so much easier, I am on your team and eager to help you. In the same token, I hope there can be some solution to this problem, so I don't need to use JAWS 14 more than I use JAWS 16. Right now as I write this message, I am using JAWS 14, even though 16 is totally paid for and updated. Take care. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Gerald Levy Sent: Thursday, July 30, 2015 1:31 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Google Search Results Not Numbered This has nothing to do with relevance. Numbering the Google search results simply makes it easier to keep track of results when you have more than ten per page.
