What about using Google Image search or the same at alltheweb.com? Likely,
most users have not renamed the graphic or created another graphic with the
same name.
I question the usefulness of this search if you are looking for sites that
are compliant - there are sites of clients and developers who claim
compliance but for various reaons, may not be.

Thanks for everyone's suggestions on finding "reverse linking" to the WCAG
compliance logo. Nothing suggested seems to find them all (I know of some
specific sites that weren't included in the hits list). The only thing I
have found to work is to search for
link:http://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG1AAA-Conformance in Google. Any ideas for
other search engines?
I agree that many sites that claim to be compliant really are not. I was
hoping to be able to point designers to some well-designed sites that *are*
compliant...although I realize this is a moving target. Maybe there is such
a list already? I would welcome other ideas on how to show designers some
well-designed, accessible sites (easy to find the inaccessible sites).
Thanks,
Mary

Hi Mary,
Accessify recently had an article which contained a few accessible sites.
The article concentrates on good looking sites, but only has a few. I don't
know if that would be enough for what you're looking for:
http://www.accessify.com/articles/attractive-accessible-sites.asp
Thank you for the information on the resource listing, I look forward to
seeing it when it's ready.
Best regards.
Gez

Hallo Mary,
In Germany is a list of sites that comply to the german accessibility
law. Most sites are in German.
http://www.wob11.de/loesungen/gute_bsp.html
perhaps is this list usuable?
Greetings

As part of my free-click charity site reviews, I tried to set up a list of
such sites that were Bobby Level A or better. I don't use Bobby anymore,
but it hasn't mattered...I have yet to find such a site.
If I ever find a free-click charity site that passes some minimal standard
of accessibility, I'll post it here:
