A step in the right direction, me thinks.

A step in the right direction, me thinks.
A few comparisons between a regular Google search and a search for
accessible content produced a result with not many differences.

A quick sample of what type of pages it seems to favour produced a
result with a slight bias towards concise pages with little or no
extraneous content.

The fact remains that a bot can do very little to evaluate
accessibility, thus not surprisingly sites with serious flaws still
feature prominently in the result.

It could produce more relevant results for non disabled users like
myself who are interested in content over fluff. I have my browser
configured to replace the regular Google search with it for the moment.
