I never believe in #accessFind

2021年6月4日 著

I got to know about accessFind via its news release titled "accessiBe, The Web Accessibility Market Leader, Announces New Search Engine accessFind to Help People with Disabilities Find Accessible Websites". Has accessiBe been "Market Leader" every once in the past? I don't think so. But anyway, accessFind website states:

accessFind is a search engine that will display only accessible websites in the search results.

Is such a search engine useful for people with disabilities? Of course they need web content accessibility, but I guess they want to get search result more from world wide web, rather than from scoped websites, even if it contains inaccessible content. The most frustrated point about accessFind to me, is:

accessiBe-powered websites are automatically added and we proactively scour the web for accessible websites. If you want your accessible website to be featured, register it today!

So, as far as I understand above correctly, accessFind is the search engine of accessiBe, by accessiBe, for accessiBe. The engine mostly exists for marketing sake of accessiBe! That's why I never believe in accessFind, period.
