Hello George, you are right, blind users are using keyboard navigation. I meant
the user will click on the link and that click will be through the keyboard
(arrow keys, tab or enter keys), as normal navigation way using keyboard.
Please note you are the master user who will guide me with your recommendations
to evaluate the update the interface.
Many thanks,
Aboubakr

Hi Aboubakr,
You say "by user clicks". This implies using the mouse. Blind users cannot use
a mouse, they use keyboard navigation.

Thank you for your interest. You are right, and I agree with you that Google is
accessible, but our approach is based on clustering and filtering the search
results by user clicks. I appreciate it if you would like to evaluate this
interface approach and provide us with your comments that will be valuable for
us.
Many thanks,
Aboubakr Aqle

Wow, isn't Google search accessible then? News to me, I use it all the time.
Do we really need an accessible search engine? I am genuinely curious.
All the best
