Accessibility in Google Search
After you search, the search results page is organized so that you can easily navigate it with assistive technology, like screen readers and keyboard-only.
Accessibility links on search results pages
On a computer, you'll find 3 accessibility links at the top of a search results page: Skip to main content, Accessibility help, and Accessibility feedback.
- With a keyboard: Press the Tab key until you reach the link you want. Then press the Enter key.
- With a screen reader: Use your screen reader's quick navigation controls.
Skip to main content
The "Skip to main content" link goes to the first content item on the page. This can be a search result or an ad.

Accessibility feedback
The "Accessibility feedback" link opens a form that asks, "What feedback do you have for accessibility on Google Search?" Enter your feedback and select Send.
