Our website-based filter blocks explicit websites. While our filter does weed out graphic images and videos within a search engine’s results page, it isn't 100% perfect because no filter is. So, pairing a family-friendly search engine with our filter may help you limit explicit image and video results.

About Search Engines


  • A search engine is exactly what it sounds like - it helps you search the internet. 
     
  • When you type a word or question into a search engine, it will help you find relevant websites, images, news, and more.
     
  • The most popular search engines are Google.com, Bing.com, and Yahoo.com.

Family-Friendly Search Engines


  • A search engine with 100% clean results does not exist.
     
  • But you can use a family-friendly search engine and set it as your default search engine, or block all other search engines and bookmark the one you prefer.
     
  • Here are some free search engines:
