There seems to be a new link asking users of screen readers to click to turn 
off Google Instant what ever that is. I haven't seen that before today.

  Subject: Google accessible search gone


  The google accessible search interface, which was here:
  http://labs.google.com/accessible/

  is now gone/inactive, and when looking for reasoning, I found the following 
blog related to google's labs development/experiments, so seems will just have 
to go back to using the normal google search for now...:
  http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/more-wood-behind-fewer-arrows.html

  Pity, since the accessible search interface was quite a bit cleaner, and also 
ranked search results a bit differently based on the 'cleanliness' of their 
content, but anyway.
