In a way Google Accessible Search benefits the user who gets to access Web content which is certainly a little more usable. They claim pages are screen reader software friendly and generally help those who depend on keyboard for operation. But there is more to accessibility than that and some of the organizations whose pages show up in the results should not go away with a sense that their Web content is fully accessible when that is not the case. Some organizations will put in just so much effort that will get their pages in the results and their managements will be satisfied with the accessibility effort. Also one needs to be aware that being listed in Google's accessibility search is not a certification of having attained conformance when that is a legal necessity.
