When doing a search is there a way to advance to the "next" page except for
scrolling down and clicking on "next"?
Thanks,

Depends if the web page author coded a hotkey for the button object (so, for
example, you could hit Alt+N).

Sorry, I was just referring to doing searhes in yahoo, google, etc.
At the bottom of the page when it shows next 10 results and then the word
next.
Do I have to click on the word "next" each time or can I use something on
the keyboard to get to the next page of results?

All depends if the page author defined a hotkey for the object in the page.
Usually the hotkey is denoted by an underscored character. Hit the Alt key
to see it any hotkeys appear underlined (I think it is an option in Windows
XP to not show hotkeys until the Alt key is pressed).

Tried doing as you suggested and when I hit the Alt. key it showed nothing.
 
It depends on what search you are using but in general, the answer is
NO.
It may become clear that is unlikely if you look at the options you
have in whatever search page you are talking about.

Then you have to use the mouse. Not all authors are sophisticated enough to
realize that not everyone wants to use a mouse, or to make their pages
usable if the reader has a mouse problem and must just use the keyboard.
You can also check if hitting the Tab key eventually highlights (with a
hashed box) the Next object in the web page, but that means the number of
tabs would have to remain constant and that depends on the author defining
the tabbed objects in the correct order (so the content found in the search
is last in the tabbed object list); otherwise, the number of tabs to get to
the Next object will vary.
