Forgive me if this has already been posted here. Thought this might  
be helpful and can't remember if someone already mentioned this:

Accessible Search is a Google Labs product designed to identify and  
prioritize Web search results that are more easily usable by blind  
and visually impaired users. Regular Google search helps you find a  
set of documents that is most relevant to your tasks. Accessible  
Search goes one step further by helping you find the most accessible  
pages in that result set. Google Accessible Search examines the HTML  
markup on a Web page and favors pages that degrade gracefully—pages  
with few visual distractions and pages that are likely to render well  
with images turned off.
