Accessible Search From Google Labs
Last week Google Labs released its new accessible search for the visually impaired. It’s about time one of the search engines took accessibility seriously and I applaud Google. With an estimated 45 million blind people and 135 million visually impaired people worldwide let’s hope the other search engines follow suit and add their own accessible search.
PR Update Has Started
If you’re a frequent forum visitor this is probably old news, since it happened all of a day ago, but for those of you that aren’t active on forums the latest toolbar PR update has started at Google.

New Search Products From Google
