Hi Carlos,
thanks for the feedback. The accessible version of google which you refer to
was introduced in the days when the standard google search was very screen
reader unfriendly - there were no headings, no lists, etc. The standard site is
now very accessible. You may still prefer the accessible version, but the
advantages of the standard search include:
1. You can set the number of results per page in the preferences and google
remembers this. If you set this to say 30, then you don't have to move between
pages of results any more. (you can set the number of results per page in the
advanced search of the accessible version, but google doesn't remember it.)
2. Some options such a searching only for pages in the UK are only availalbe in
the standard version.
3. Google's suggestions for the correct spelling of misspelled search terms are
only available in the standard version.
best wishes,
David.

Hi David
http://labs.google.com/accessible/
is also available to make searches a lot easier. I've made this page my default
page.
Thank you very much for the guide. I'm going to try to learn more about all
these options.
Good luck,
Carlos.
