Google is testing a new web search for the visually impaired.

Google Accessible is a new search portal for the blind and the visually impaired. It is based on the regular Google search engine, but adds another dimension to the search algorithm.

Google Accessible gives a boost to the most accessible pages in the regular Google results, i.e. pages that degrade gracefully, meaning pages with few visual distractions and pages that are likely to render well with images turned off.

Google Accessible Search is built on Google Co-op’s technology, which improves search results based on specialized interests.
