[JAWS-Users] Research It in Jaws
I notice that quite a few people write the list about Research It not working from time to time. The most likely cause for this, is that website information used in Research It has changed. Jaws relies on specific information from each site to be available, and when the website in question changes that information, the Research It utility fails to work correctly. This is why FS will have to continually update Jaws in order for Research It to work. Whenever you have a problem retrieving information using this utility, and you will , simply contact FS to make them aware of the problem. I'm not bashing FS, I'm just pointing out why folks that use Research It experience these problems. Personally, I prefer using Internet Explorer since the same information can be obtained from the individual sites that Research It accesses. So, if Research It fails to get the information you are looking for, try going to the corresponding website and getting it.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Research It in Jaws
What website would that be? For example, for business searches?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Research It in Jaws
It would be different websites, depending on the search being used. For example, UPS, or MLB scores.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Research It in Jaws
A possibly more durable solution, then, wouldn't you think, would be for FS to use more than one Web site for each search; and to instruct Research It, when finding that primary site doesn't work, try the specified alternative(s). - Original Message - From: "Rick Justice" To: Sent: Thursday, January 06, 2011 10:47 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Research It in Jaws I notice that quite a few people write the list about Research It not working from time to time.

Or use your Web browser and google?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Research It in Jaws
Also, the Wikipedia Research It often fails when I click on the link which says to click here for full article. The Wikipedia page I tend to often receive isn't the same one the info in the Research It tool gave me. Only when I do a Google search with my term and wikipedia as the search words, and go to the search hit, do I find myself reading what the Research It tool gave me. Obviously the tool's getting the info from Wikipedia, but the link behind the Click here for full article can't be the URL the tool referenced, or else it would match up every time. Someone at FS should have noticed this by now if they're actually testing their software as rigorously as they should be. Part of software maintenance is to constantly test it and fix problems before users have to find and report them. I allegedly reported a Text Analyzer bug to them using the bug report form when the JAWS 12 beta came out, within days of its release, in fact, and they never did address the bug in any of the patches. I had to report the bug through their tech support just the other day. Apparently one of those cases where the bug report system must just be giving me one of those confirmation messages, but it doesn't guarantee my submission was actually received, which is why I said allegedly reported. I can understand FS can't find every bug on their own, but some bugs are very obvious if one just does some basic testing, and this Wikipedia problem and the Text Analyzer bug I found are basic things as far as this software developer's concerned. I just expect my software to be as bug free as possible without my having to do someone else's job, especially when I'm paying for software maintenance. You do suggest a good option for FS to consider, having several similar websites for each source, when this is possible. This would perhaps cut down on the number of patches they otherwise have to release trying to work around broken sources due to website changes. -Greg Epley Thinkzo Systems Web: http://www.thinkzo.com On 1/6/2011 6:23 PM, Flor Lynch wrote: A possibly more durable solution, then, wouldn't you think, would be for FS to use more than one Web site for each search; and to instruct Research It, when finding that primary site doesn't work, try the specified alternative(s). - Original Message - From: "Rick Justice" To: Sent: Thursday, January 06, 2011 10:47 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Research It in Jaws I notice that quite a few people write the list about Research It not working from time to time.

Indeed. When it comes down to it, folks - and FS, too - have to accept that the dynamic nature of the Web and of Web sites mean that there are quite frequent changes. - Original Message - From: "Dale Leavens" To: Sent: Friday, January 07, 2011 2:30 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Research It in Jaws Or use your Web browser and google?
