YahooKids

Yahoo Kids Search engine

Yahoo for kids, designed for ages 7 to 12. Sites are hand-picked to be appropriate for children. Also, unlike normal Yahoo, searches will not bring back matched found by crawling the web, if there is no match from within the YahooKids listings. This prevents possibly objectionable sites from slipping onto the screen. Additionally, adult-oriented banner advertising will not appear within the service.

Page features ALOT of advertising.

When you search for kangaroo different categories in Yahoo! kids come up such as
 * In animals
 * In movies
 * In jokes
 * In ask earl
 * In dictionary
 * In Encyclopedia

OR you can see the results on the web.


 * Not all links in the top 10 search results actually worked

All seach results seem to be appropriate for children. When typing in certain words such a death, massacre, murder etc only certain content comes up. When typing in the word sex there are no search results. This may be useful for younger students but for older students the content may be too filtered and they may not be able to find the information they need.
