Well, I'm gonna have to agree with Tyler here. Last time I used bing, it was
pretty annoying to use (at least to me), and google has always been extremely
accessible for me. The headings are obviously very helpful, and for those
screen readers that support it, the landmarks are also helpful.
Hth,

C'mon, Ty, she's a Microsoft fangirl! And one of the most ardent ones I've
ever come in contact with, to be sure. But, hey, if your tools accomplish the
tasks and all that...

Typical of this damn computer and Windows Vista. Junk appearing and functions
changing randomly.
I am on google many times a day and haven't looked at my cookies in months!

If you don't turn it off, Google tries to guess what you are searching for.
And you won't necessarily hear what is being added to your terms before you
hit enter.

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...:
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.
