The problem is that Launchpad knows about thousands of projects. Too many to show in a list and expect someone to make sense of it. I'm sure we can solve this form problem. Out curiosity, have you tried Google Suggest? If not please try entering a term (such as 'accessibility'). As you press each key, Google builds a list of matches. If JAWS reports the revised list to you as you type, then we know this kind of interactivity is safe. This might be doable in Launchpad.
