=More kid safe search engines.=

Kids are not supposed to understand the use of Boolean operators in search. Boolify makes it easier by providing the operators as colorful jigsaw pieces. All they need to do is drag them to center board and construct the search. For instance, drag the ‘Word’ piece for entering the keyword, and then modify it by dragging the other pieces like ‘And’, ‘Or’, ‘Not’ etc to combine it with other keywords.

[|KidRex]


KidRex is a custom Google search engine for kids. The interface is just like a child’s crayon drawing (the dinosaur stands guard). It uses SafeSearch and tries to keep all the results as antiseptic as possible. KidRex also has its own database of inappropriate websites and keywords which further help to keep the results clean.

[|Ask Kids]


Ask Kids is a search engine for kids from Ask.com’s pool of web resources. The search page resembles a school note book. Apart from the search box, five preset search categories – //Schoolhouse, Movies, Games, Videos// and //Images//, help out the kiddies research all kinds of stuff. Kids can jump from the search results to images, narrow or expand the search, find related names and other information. It borrows the features from Ask.com and its regular search, but keeps it simple for kids.

[|KidsClick]


KidsClick makes it clear in its About page that it is not an internet filter. It is a directory of good resources (a 600+ strong subject list) which kids can use for information or schoolwork. KidsClick is owned and run by the School of Library and Information Science (SLIS) at Kent State University. As the web resource links to a comprehensive collection of good, clean sites, the KidsClick interface is without any ads.
