Search in windows 8, number of results for apps, setting and files not read #2849
Comments
Hello, I would like to contribute to fix this issue. The UIA_ItemStatusPropertyId is being used to communicate item status information, but NVDA is not reading it. My approach is to mimic the HelpText property handling for UIA objects. I would just queue the property changed event for this property as a descriptionChange event and do the same things that are already done for that event. I could expose another event altogether called statusChange, but that might be too close to the existing stateChange event. What do you guys think? |
CC @michaelDCurran @feerrenrut @LeonarddeR on your opinions on suggested fix in #2849 (comment) from @jsschultz |
@jsschultz Do you have a prototype you could point us to? It would make it easier to be sure we understand what you are proposing. |
@@jsschultz your response on @feerrenrut's comment above is very appreciated. Thanks. |
@josephsl since you were involved in improving this on Windows 10, is there maybe a fix for Windows 8 not far away. Your thoughts are very welcome here. |
Sorry for my lack of responsiveness … I've been extraordinarily busy lately. I will provide a prototype when I get some time. Hopefully in the next several weeks. |
@josephsl, @jsschultz is there a plan to extend the fix introduced in #12791 for windows 8 as well? |
Hi, personally, I think it doesn’t really make sense to extend the fix to an operating system that’s long out of support, especially Windows 8.0 which is end of life since January 2016. Thanks.

I'd guess there are more windows 7 users than 8, though I do know a few 8.1
users. The one time I tried that OS it slowed the machine down to a crawl.

It seems the resonance for windows 8 support is very limited and I also think not many users are on Windows 8 anymore. I am Closing this issue for now, but feel free to comment if you think that it is very crucial to implement a solution for windows 8. |

In windows 8, using the search pane for searching apps, settings or files, then in the Search Apps list (list of possible scopes for the search), after each of apps, settings, and files, the number of results in that scope is displayed. When the focus moves to one of these list items, Jaws and narrator read the name of the item and the number of results, but NVDA doesn't. This information is available in the ItemStatus of the object in UIA api.
