It's been there since google instant search was implemented maybe 5-6 months
ago (maybe even more, I forget). It won't appear unless google instant search
is turned on, in which case your cookie may have been deleted, etc.

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.

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...:

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.
