Google's accessible site has nothing to do with accessibility for
screen-readers. It's an old site that was put up when there were web
sites designed to work best with specific browsers.
It's no longer supported. So now it's just an uncluttered backdoor into
the same search engine.
I've used the same search terms on both and got the same results.

Personally, I don't understand why anyone would want google
or their outdated software to determine what is or is not accessible for me.
What will they leave out? For what level of screen reader expertise are
they making such a decision? I would much rather make use of google's full
search capabilities and then find out for myself if a site is accessible or
not.

The accessible Google webpage still works fine for me.

The accessible search thing on Google is dead, Jim! Too bad.
This points up, however, a creeping crisis in Web accessibility that
probably keeps A.T. developers awake a few nights. What they're really
saying is, "Web 2.X is going in so many directions we just can't ferret
out accessible pages any more."
Nice effort though.
