Accessible View

  Navigate search results quickly and easily, with just your keyboard.
As you navigate, items are magnified for easier viewing. If you use a
screen reader or talking browser, the relevant information is spoken
automatically as you navigate.

Current keyboard shortcuts include:

Key Action
j or DOWN Selects the next item.
k or UP Selects the previous item.
l or RIGHT Moves to the next category (results, sponsored links, refinements).
h or LEFT Moves to the previous category (results, sponsored links,
refinements).
<Enter> Opens the selected result.
/ Puts the cursor in the search box.
n Moves to the next result, and fetches more results if necessary.
p Moves to the previous result, reloading earlier results if necessary.
= Magnifies current item
- Shrinks current item
A Switches to Accessible Search Results
W Switches to regular Web Search Results

For now, you need to use the Firefox 3 web browser with this
experiment. This note will be updated as other browsers are added.
Magnification already works with Google Chrome and Apple's Safari.
