Google Introduces Parental Controlled SafeSearch Filtering

Posted on 12 November 2009


Parent’s want to be extremely careful when their child is browsing on the web and specially in the house. Google introduces SafeSearch screens for sites that contain explicit sexual content and deletes them from your search results.

Although most of the site filtering doesn’t guarantee full protection, by this one from Google it’s harder for kids to break in. The parent will have to log into his or her Google account and enter a password. Once the settings have been changed, the Google search will change in appearance to indicate that it’s locked. The new page will have large balls in the righ corner so that parents can see from across the room that their kids are on the safe search page.

You can choose from among three SafeSearch settings:

  • Moderate filtering excludes most explicit images from Google Image Search results but doesn’t filter ordinary web search results. This is your default SafeSearch setting; you’ll receive moderate filtering unless you change it.
  • Strict filtering applies SafeSearch filtering to all your search results (i.e. both image search and ordinary web search).
  • No filtering, as you’ve probably figured out, turns off SafeSearch filtering completely.
