Questions come up daily, and many people rely on the Internet search engine Google to help with these queries.
While Google has found success retrieving information for people around the world, with more than 1.2 trillion searches in 2012, it has also caused concern about the type of content that can be found.
Kiddle, a new search engine, is trying to cater to children by retrieving only family friendly results. Kiddle "is powered by Google safe search but has no connection with the tech giant," according to bbc.com.
According to the website, Kiddle will only show results from websites specifically written for children or trusted websites selected by Kiddle editors. Thumbnails are larger, and descriptions for each result are displayed in large font, making them easier for children to read. Kiddle editors also choose not to collect any personal information from users, deleting the site's logs every 24 hours.
When a query is entered that the editors have dubbed inappropriate, the search returns an error page.
Kiddle originally did not display any information for several topics, including LGBT, stating, "Please realize that while Kiddle has nothing against the LGBT community, it's hard to guarantee the safety of all the search results for such queries. We recommend that you talk to your parent or guardian about such topics," according to BBC News. After receiving much criticism, however, the editors have since allowed some results on such queries.
Kiddle, similar to Google, will do Web, video, news and image searches.
