The purpose of the "1", "2", etc links in the Google search result page example would be clarified by adding a heading or title attributes (or other programmatic context). However, in the existing implementation the purpose of each link is ambiguous to all users and thus does not disadvantage persons with a disability. This means the links in this example would pass SC 2.4.4.
