I then have to tab twice to get to the "all apps" list and focus is on notepad, and I can down arrow to sticky notes etc. Trying to press down arrow after typing the search but before tabbing to the list does nothing for me, therefore focus has not moved off the search field. Unless I'm not understanding, this is just a Windows 8 implementation issue, not really an NVDA one. Granted though it would be nice if it did focus on the first item like in Win7. |

As I start typing notepad, it reads "notepad and other results found" for each keypress. for note, I have notepad and sticky notes. As I get to the p in notepad, the message changes to notepad found. An added benefit is I get position information as I arrow. I'm not sure what's going on with mdcurran's system (comment 1). With both NVDA and narrator, I can down arrow directly from my search and end up on the second result in the list if there is one, otherwise on the list of things to search. |

As Windows 8.1 has superseded Windows 8, I am going to close this from @josephsl's comment in #2457 (comment) as worksforme |

The start screen doesn't read the first item found for a search. For example, if I open it and start typing team,
I should land on TeamTalk 4 Classic. If I press enter at this point, that's the one that gets activated, but I don't hear the result.
Moving up and down the list works, although IMO the not selected spoken after everything is a bit misleading because pressing enter on the focused item opens it, regardless if I select it with space or not.
