New Internet Search Engine Offers Smut Filtering - Parents Can Feel Safe with Breakthrough Child-Safe Searching

Has this ever happened to you? You go to a search engine to look for something innocent like "adult education". You are then shocked when, in the list of sites that comes up are a few that, well, let's just say - make you blush. All because the word "adult" was in your search.

According to Mark Joyner, CEO, Bodhi Tree Corporation, "The number of adult related listings in your average search engine not only makes it harder for you to find what you're looking for, but it presents a dilemma to parents." The dilemma lies between

"Until now, search engines provided no tools to help parents screen this content from their children," adds Joyner. SearchHound (http://www.searchhound.com ) offers a truly unique solution to this problem: "Child-Safe" searching. By default, a SearchHound search will filter out sites that include any of a number of words commonly associated with "adult" or potentially offensive sites.

If someone searches for adult related keywords at SearchHound or elects to search the "non-filtered" database that includes adult listings, they must pass through a warning screen before being exposed to the content.

"The SearchHound pages that include adult listings are compliant with all available porn-blocking software on the market," states Joyner. Other search engines do not place the proper tags in their pages to alert porn-blocking software of the content. SearchHound has ensured their pages that contain the potentially offensive listings are detected by such software as "Net Nanny" and "Cyber-Patrol".

"The system isn't perfect", concludes Joyner, "as a few potentially offensive listings that do not include our filter words can still be found in the child-safe listings. What we offer is far safer than what any other popular search engine on the web has, though. We are the first to offer this type of protection and will cooperate with parents and concerned citizens to continually offer better child-safe service.

SearchHound is a joint creation of Bodhi Tree Corporation (Oklahoma) and Web Genie Software (Australia). http://www.SearchHound.com
