Use Tab. They are links. I think this is a duplicate (as I know it was mentioned elsewhere too)

Up/Down was replaced with tab to provide better accessibility, as without tab support you couldn’t access the “Search this Topic/Category/User” checkbox, the help, or Show More. You also couldn’t get to a user who was returned as a search result.
