Hi all,

The Google accessible search ranks results based on the accessibility  
of the
Web sites of the results. This is why, I have not used this feature  
until
now.

The trouble with their accessible search is if the information you're
looking for is only on a crummy site that is sort of accessible, they  
won't
show it to you in the first few screens and you may get discouraged  
and give
up before you get there.  I was looking for some bit of pop culture, I
forget what and got it on the first screen of results with a regular  
google
search but not in the first three with the accessible google.  I  
don't know
enough to tell them how to fix that, but maybe some of you do.  Kathie

Google just rolled out a new experimental version of an accessible  
search
interface: http://labs.google.com/accessible/.

Your feedback to Google may be important.
