Searching...Searching

What search engine do you use? Did you know there is more than one?
Not all search engines are alike...and today they are becoming more and more diversified...each trying to become THE search engine that everyone uses.

So what are some common (and maybe not so common) search engines?
Google
AltaVista
Yahoo
Lycos
Alltheweb

There are actually some search engines available just for kids and some of the above search engines have a "safe search" feature that you can enable to help eliminate receiving inappropriate material.
Some search engines for kids are:
KidsClick
Yahooligans
ALA Great Web Site For Kids
Awesome Library
DibDabDoo
Education World

You can enable a filter for safer surfing on most search engines:
AllTheWeb: Use the Basic Settings page to enable the Offensive Content Filter option. The only works for searches in English.
AltaVista: Use the Family Filter Setup page.
Ask: Use options for Content Filtering on the Your Settings page or try Ask Jeeves For Kids, listed above.
Google: See the SafeSearch help page for instructions on setting up filtering on a permanent or as-needed basis.
HotBot: Use the Block Offensive Content section of the Filter Preferences page. Note that you may need to set this again if you change from using the default "HotBot" search engine that's offered.
Lycos: Use the Adult Filter section of the Advanced Search Filters page.
Teoma: Teoma doesn't appear to offer a filter.
Yahoo: Set the SafeSearch Filter option via the Search Preferences page.
