Tiddy,
I suppose the difficulty here is that it is hard to know what criteria are
being used to gauge the accessibility rating.
If it was possible to get a good bunch of factors built in to their
filtering system, this could be a really good way of persuading website
designers to get their acts together - especially if it meant that some
customers were ending up on someone else's site instead of theirs!!
Anyway, I wonder what the others out there think of this idea. Does anyone
have any inside information on exactly what factors are used in this search
system to gauge an accessible page?
Jamie

As a totally unscientific test, I searched for something that brings up
a page from my own site, totally in text, on the normal Google search.
It didn't appear on either of the first 2 pages of the accessible one.
Good try, perhaps.
