Why Quintura Kids Is The Safest Search Engine For Children

Quintura Kids LogoThe SearchEngineWatch[1] produced an interesting study that was trigged by the author’s experience at the movies. Debby Richman watched the movie Knocked Up in theaters and one of the lines used in the movie was “I googled murder.” Richman then curiously investigated whether kids used kid-friendly search engines or use the big search engines based on parent behavior.

Richman also investigated how different the kid-friendly search engines results were from the more well known search engines (Ask, Google, MSN, Yahoo!, etc.) Below is a screen shot of the overall rankings:
Quintura Kids Study
Based on the study, it turns out that Quintura Kids returned the most relevant results out of the other competitors, was easier to navigate, and is more visually appealing. While this seems to be reflecting the opinion of Debby Richman, I remember that I produced an article[2] earlier about why I would have set Quintura for Kids as my child’s homepage, if I had one.

Quintura for Kids takes into account the innocence of children and filters out inappropriate content in a more advanced manner than the other search engines out there.  And it has been proved that kid-friendly content is embraced in the world of Web 2.0 as evidenced by the acquisition of Club Penguin by Disney for $350 million[3].

  1. Phil Bradley's weblog: Safe Search Engines For Children

    [...] Safe Search Engines For Children. I was pointed towards this blog entry which looks at 13 search engines for children, and ranks them on a basis of visual appeal, relevance, commercial v educational and ease of navigation. The author (didn’t notice who it was, and they weren’t making it plain) reckons that Quintura Kids comes out on top, although it got exactly the same results as one called Fact Monster. Obviously this is going to be a personal choice, but it’s an interesting matrix to look at if you’re interested in such things. I’ve looked at Quintura Kids before, but I thought I’d take another look. It’s pretty much as it was the last time I saw it. Nice simple interface, with a number of predefined search terms, such as ‘around the world’ (though the first 9 entries were all US based which didn’t quite make sense to me), and when you run a search you get a nice little tag cloud at the top of screen, giving good navigation. The content is based on Yahoo for Kids, so you’re really just comparing interfaces more than anything else. [...]
