• KidRex

  KidRex is a fun and safe search for kids, by kids! KidRex searches are powered by Google Custom Search and use Google SafeSearch technology.

  Google’s SafeSearch screens for sites that contain explicit sexual content and deletes them from your child’s search results. Google’s filter uses advanced technology to check keywords, phrases, and URLs. No filter is 100 percent accurate, but SafeSearch should eliminate most inappropriate material.

  In addition to Google SafeSearch, KidRex maintains its own database of inappropriate websites. KidRex researchers test KidRex daily to insure that you and your child have the best web experience possible.
