Unfortunately the needs of the few do not out-weight the needs of the many in this situation. But that will hopefully change in the near future. It would be very helpful if search engines had a way of stating that a site was accessible when it came up on a search. But I have yet to come across a search engine that does. We just have to keep plugging away. Joyce Taylor jtaylor@taymade.com -----Original Message----- From: Jonathan Chetwynd <signbrowser@signbrowser.free-online.co.uk> To: Charles F.

I teach adults with learning difficulties who are mostly non-readers. I feel that the arguments about accessibility are misplaced. One persons paradise is another's hell. Japanese language sites have their uses and probably will do so for the foreseeable future. That is I suggest that my group would benefit MOST by finding sites that are already extant and accessible. I am looking for and researching search engines that allow one to qualify the content. Interactivity Whitespace Filesize Number of words Flesch reading ease Well these are a few, and you will have your own Why is their not a search engine that uses personal Qualia to refine the search? jonathan jonathan@peepo.com (UK)
