My system Jaws 2020 Windows 7 I hit the f3 function key and type in text to find. How do I clear this search feature as when I hit f3 a second time Jaws says search not found. I can restart Jaws and clear this edit field. Thanks Jim

Usually you use either jaws+f3 or ctrl+f3 to set an initial search and

f3 to repeat the current search.

Hi, Jim. Rather than using F3 to perform a search, use JAWS key plus F to

perform the initial search. Use F3 to repeat the search. If you want your initial search criteria to be cleared, use JAWS key plus F, followed by a new search string. Bill White billwhite92701@att.net

If I understand the question correctly, simply type the text of a new search in the edit field. There is no need to clear it.

Hi, David. The problem is that, when you use JAWS key plus F3, there is no edit box. It just searches for the previous search string. To get an edit box, you must use JAWS key plus F.

A few notes from my experience with F3.
F3 alone repeats a search in most applications. However, when in Word, I must simultaneously press the JAWS key. This is presumably because Word has assigned F3 to another function. Separately sometimes pressing F# does bring up an edit field. If I’m not mistaken, it happens when I’ve done a search on, say a webpage, then leave that window and return to it. Pressing F3 at that point seems to invoke an edit field.
