Kidrex belongs to the Google stable of applications. As Alan
explained Kidrex is a web crawler, or a web spider that trolls through all
child related pages on the entire net. Kidrex uses Google search technology and
safe search strategies. This any site that has inappropriate child content is
filtered out in an attempt to keep the children safer. Kidrex also has a
section where you can report inappropriate sites.
Using Kidrex returns
sites that are deemed to be child appropriate, and has a small picture icon
beside the descriptor, to give children an idea of the content.
As a comparative survey I used the same words in a Kidrex
site as in a Google site. While both search engines returned 70,000,000 plus
sites Kidrex had filtered out 1,000,000 sites
To return over 70,000,000 sites does indicate I’d need to
make much better use of keywords.
