Is anyone else having problems with Google search? Since yesterday voice over says search box is "combo box" and editing is impossible. Same on ipad ios7, ipad ios6, iphone5 ios7.
Thanks

I observe the same behavior. Should report this to the Google Accessibility group.

Yes I am noticing the same problem as well.

Hey Guys,
They must have made back-end changes on server. It has been like that for about a week.
I sent them an email at Accessibility@Google.com. No response yet.

Turning off Google instant for screen readers does not work for me. I still have the combo box. Double tapping on the box brings up some kind of menu that is not fully accessible with voiceover. The keyboard pops up but I cannot control where the edit cursor is. The prompt for screen reader users does not disappear after we click on it either.
Question is: who do we report this to? This appears to be a
problem with voiceover working with combo boxes in Safari and not a Google problem. In other words: Google has chosen a different design that affects the way voice over works is this Google's responsibility or voiceovers responsibility to work properly with a combo box?
