It does seem that the search box is back on the AppleVis website, but please know that this has just been corrected on the site. Richard and others that reported a few days ago that the search box was no longer there was correct and was not dreaming! I checked this myself on my phone using Safari, as well as on my windows computer using multiple screen readers and browsers.
It seems that mentioning this on the list has gotten back to the proper people at AppleVis and, like i said, it now has been corrected. Even though I have been using an iPhone since 2011, I still use AppleVis for a good source of information, especially if I am looking for information about a particular app or type of app. It is also a good place to check to see what new apps people are using and have found accessible. I will mention in closing that Thomas has done several podcast that is on the site that goes over and explains how to work with all of the new features of ios 14. It is my first stop when a new version of ios comes out, and I am grateful for having AppleVis as a great helpful resource.
