There are hundreds of search engines and directories out there, some are more known than
others, they all work a little differently. Newsgroups are a great way to find the
information you are looking for or to find people with the same interests. Search engines
made just for kids is another great way for your kids to get around on the web. On this
page you will find links to get you started.
Search Engines and Directories for Children
& Families
Ask Jeeves for Kids - Allows you to ask a question in
plain English and, after interacting with you to confirm the question, Ask Jeeves for Kids
takes you to one and only one web site that answers your question. |
| Yahooligans - Sites
are hand-picked to be appropriate for children. Also, unlike normal Yahoo, searches will
not be forwarded to Yahoo's search engine partner Inktomi if there is no match from within
the Yahooligan listings. This prevents possibly objectionable sites from slipping onto the
screen. Additionally, adult-oriented banner advertising will not appear within the
service. |
| Disney Internet Guide (DIG)
- Sites appropriate for children |
| Kids Search
Engines - A listing of search engine sites suitable for children from Search
EngineWatch. |
| Saluki Search - The Family
Friendly Search Engine - This site offers an alternative search engine that is simple
to use and is targeted towards families, schools, teachers, and kids. |
Search Engines/Directories
Yahoo.com - I know, I know, you all
know about Yahoo, you've all been there, but I can't list all the other directories and
engines without listing good old Yahoo. Have you been Yahooing lately?Ask Jeeves - Same as above but for the general
public, ask a question in plain English and, after interacting with you to confirm the
question, Ask Jeeves for Kids takes you to one and only one web site that answers your
question.
