Also, I think it's much nicer than keyboarder, since you don't have to reach to the arrow keys and when you go 'past' the last result you'll get the next page of results. @Walter Jessen: Yes, I use that one too.

You just use tab to get through links. It's basic Web accessibility. OK, sure, keyboardr is prettier, but it has way less links. I also wonder how accessible it is for speech browsers in comparison to regular Google. I'm definitely not sold on this one. Hmmm..
