While itsounds nice, I've never used the so-called accessible search, always using the regular search although I turned off the "instant"part. While there arethings I would change if it were written specifically for me, I would not have thought it to be inaccessible.Best regards, Steve Jacobson On Thu, 18 Aug 2011 14:56:43 +0000, Katherine Moss wrote: >Well apparently not, or else we wouldn't be talking about it, would we?>From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Littlefield, Tyler>Sent: Thursday, August 18, 2011 10:49 AM >To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >Subject: Re: Google accessible search gone >As is google. >On 8/18/2011 8:38 AM, Katherine Moss wrote: >I'm just saying that Bing's search is accessible by default, that's all.>From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>[mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jared Wright >Sent: Thursday, August 18, 2011 12:40 AM >To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> >Subject: Re: Google accessible search gone>C'mon, Ty, she's a Microsoft fangirl!
