Search Engines For Kids

Internet safety is a big issue for parents. While this super information highway can be a wonderful resource, it can also be filled with content that should not be readily available to children and teens. This is why there is a definite need for search engines that are geared towards the younger members of the population, those who are more internet savvy than their parents are.Google, the internet information leader does offer a safe search filter, but since this option only filters out English content by keywords, it provides little security for parents looking to guide their children to appropriate web searches. While Google may be the leader in internet searches, they are behind many other companies when it comes to internet searches for kids.Parents do have other options available to them, in the form of kid search engines designed to create a safe internet experience for their children. Search engines that are geared toward children include Ask Kids, which is run by Ask.com, Yahooligans, run by Yahoo.com and also a search engine called Factmonster. All of these provide a kid based surfing experience that will not only allow them to freely search the information that they want to access but to do so in a safer environment.Well, finally Google is joining the ranks of those who are creating internet searches for kids and they are currently offering Kigose, which came from the abbreviation for Kids Google Search. Kigose is a more advanced type of search engine that allows kids to not only access textual information but also images, music, and videos, all which fall into a kid based category.Kigose is also unique in the fact that it offers multiple search engine results all at once, which helps aid those who are looking to quickly access information because if they can’t find the information they want from one search engine, they can quickly access information from another kid friendly search right on the same page. The hope is that this will become the primary search engine used not only by parents, but for educators and instructors in schools and libraries around the world.
