Ask Jeeves for Kids
http://www.ajkids.com/
Ask a question in plain English instead of using key words.
AJ will tell you what questions he
does have answers for that might be similar to yours. Only "G-rated"
Web pages and Web pages
written specifically for children are included in this knowledge base.
Note: One annoying feature
is that when you go to a suggested site, the location at the top of
the page is still listed as
AJKids.com. In order to get the correct address for citation
purposes, you need to hold down the
mouse button (right button on Windows machine) on a blank area of the
page. This will bring up
a menu that allows you to open a "new window with this frame."
(Note some older browser
versions do not have this function.) The new frame will list the correct
location of that page. At
the bottom of the original search results from AJ, you will find that
several major search engines
have also been searched with the protection of Surf Watch, but not
with any filter for educational
or child relevance.
SuperSnooper
http://www.supersnooper.com/
A search engine with built in filters that screen-out pornographic,
violent and hate-related sites.
Sites are not filtered for educational relevancy.
