I was perusing the web earlier and ran into this interesting factoid. Google labs is testing out an accessible search.

The url is
http://labs.google.com/accessible/faq.html

At least that will take you to the faq for the search. Can't tell you more about it at the moment as I haven't had the chance to test it out, but looks interesting.

I thought google was fine with out that accessible version? I think the accessible version bases the search based on whether the sites are accessible. I was reading about it a couple of months back and have used it a few times. There's not much difference really.

Yeah i think it must scan the code of the results and see if they comply with w3 acsessability standards or osmething.
I can see how some might like this, but the normal google's fine for me.
