Supposedly, the accessible Google site returns search results that are
screen reader friendly, as compared with the regular Google site, which
returns search results regardless of whether they are screen reader
friendly. So it is the search resultsand not Google itself that are
"accessible". BTW, I have no difficulty loading the accessible Google site
on my XP system, although I prefer the regular Google site and simply skip
the search results that JAWS can't handle.

Hi, I just wonder what issues people have with the regular google site.
I find it easy to use. Unless I am missing something I don't understand
the need for a accessible site. What does the accessible site offer?
I notice that you can not tailor your search e.g. limiting your results to
say the last year, month, week etc as you can on the regular site, a great
feature in my opinion.

Thanks for reply. When I try your suggested link, I get a "webpage has
expired" message. I tried putting the original address with the same
results.

Others have had the same problem. Try https://startpage.com It uses
Google as the underlying search engine and the results are very
accessible. Use the heading quick key to jump to each result.

Hi list. I have been using google accessibility search engine for
some time, but for the last week I get a error 404 message when I
put in a search term. The search engine on google's main page works
fine, but this
is a lot more difficult to use for me than the other. I tried both IE
and
firefox with the same results. I am using vista and jaws 13. Has
anyone had similar difficulties? Sorry if this topic has been
covered. Thanks For answers to frequently asked questions about this
