Understanding safe searching

Parental Controls offers you the convenience of making sure that the safe searching filter is always turned on when your children use many of the common search engines.

Parental Controls supports safe searching for these search engines:
Google
Microsoft Bing
Yahoo!

If you turn on safe searching in Parental Controls, we'll make sure that the search engine's safe searching filter is turned on for that user and set to its most restrictive setting. We will also guarantee that the safe searching filter stays on — if a user tries to turn it off (in the search engine's preferences or advanced settings), we'll automatically turn it on again. Before you can turn on safe searching, you must assign your child to an age group.
