People, including teenagers, usually use the Internet to get to know the world, but many parents worry that their children may meet with something unhealthy when searching online. In order to solve this problem, a new search engine(搜索引擎) for children called Kiddle has appeared.
Search results are filtered(过滤), so only safe websites are shown and descriptions are written in simple language. Searches with bad words are all filtered, too.
Kiddle uses the same colors as Google in its logo and a similar design, on its homepage, too一with an extra robot picture.
The top three Kiddle search results show safe websites and pages written specially for kids, and those websites and pages are well chosen and checked by Kiddle developers(开发者).
The fourth to seventh results will be safe and trusted websites that are not written specially for kids, but have content(内容) written in a simple way. These results are also chosen and checked.
Results on the eighth and its following are safe and famous websites that are written for adults. They provide expert content, but are hard for kids to understand.
Unlike on Google, most results appear along with large thumbnail pictures (缩略图) to make it easier for children to find what they are looking for. For example, when searching for "meow meow", Google produces pages for information about a drug(毒品) that has "'meow meow" as its nickname(绰号),but Kiddle lists safe information only about cats, even with some cat cartoon pictures.
The company explained, "Websites which appear in Kiddle search results satisfy(满足) family-friendly needs as we filter websites with unhealthy content."
