Is this a bug? If not, how to access it by mouse?

Best Answer

This is a feature, not a bug. Accessibility features are for users using assertive technologies such as screen readers, so mouse usage isn't expected.

You can read more in the Accessibility in Google Search page (one of the first links to appear while tabbing):

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.
