Did this work in NVDA 2013.3 or has it never worked? It does work with Widnows 8.1, but Start Menu search in Windows 8 is a bit different, including being quite a bit more awkward. I assume this works correctly with narrator?

1- this issue has not been tested for NVDA Ver. 2013.3 by myself.
2- when pressing start key, the system cursor sits on the first item of start screen. when you begin typing, the cursor is automatically located in the editable area. each char is pressed and any change event occurred on that area will cause the result of search to be changed. then if you press first three chars of an item, NVDA does not report the first found item. if you change the cursor position by pressin down arrow, you will see the results. but it is required the first item to be reported because user desides to continue typing or not.

@jcsteh seems to state as a fact that this issue is specific to Windows 8 in #3914 (comment). If this is indeed the case, Windows 8 has been superceded by Windows 8.1, and thus, I suggest closing. @ehollig

Closing, as this sounds to be Windows 8 specific, and @jcsteh says in #3914 (comment) that this works properly in Windows 8.1.
