On the records search page please have the tab stops to skip over the exact boxes.

Lundgren said: The records search web interface update is underway already.

To get an idea about what will be happening look at the genealogies search:

Extremely highly undesirable. I cannot word this strongly enough without resorting to rudeness.

Jordi Kloosterboer said: You can still use tab and shift tab to add fields and input info etc.

Jacob Reid said: Can you explain what you mean by keyboard-only input?

LegacyUser

Juli said: Input using the keyboard only - no mouse or touchscreen. People using assistive technologies (screen readers, for example) often cannot use sight-based things like mice or touchscreens. It would be a gross violation of the ADA (and its equivalent in other countries) to remove tab stops from checkboxes.

Jordi Kloosterboer said: Juli, I was able to search Genealogies with just my keyboard. The regular search would be the same way. You don't have to worry

Juli said: FS has done it correctly, yes. The suggestion I'm replying to is what gets it grossly wrong.

LegacyUser

Danny Jones said: I prefer the way FS has it on the Family Tree-Find. Here it is correct for the multitude of users. I was able to use Tab and it skips over the exact box.

Jeff Wiseman said: Danny, that skip should not be happening. How would people using assistive technologies (no mouse, touch pad, or touch screen) check the exact boxes?

LegacyUser

Juli said: Danny, you've pointed out a VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM with Find. FamilySearch is denying access to features to people using non-visual input methods. That's against the ADA and its European equivalent, and is in extremely bad taste in any case, especially given how basic and simple an interface change we're talking about.

Jeff Wiseman said: Yes, and this was reported several months ago as a problem when someone had made the request to skip all the check boxes.

joe martel said: When I tab the exact toggle and the exact checkboxes do get traversed and work in Search. In the tree Find they do not work which is a defect.
