The protected search (safesearch) allows the user to filter the search results from Google, Bing and Youtube to prevent inadequate images from being displayed.
With the ability to qualify , even in search for explicit themes, the results are filtered and much of the inappropriate content is blocked . The filter is especially useful for inhibiting the waste of time and increasing employee productivity .
With the disabled safesearch , the most relevant results are displayed for your research. See an example in the image, with the results displayed for the porn search, without the activated protected search service .
Now, let's find out the results of the search for the same word “porn”, with the activated protected search service .
Search systems use automated methods to identify suspicious content and act permanently to improve them .
For websites with sexually explicit content, the filter is based on algorithms that analyze many factors such as user comments, keywords, links and images. Filters are not 100% accurate, however, the safesearch allows you to avoid much of this type of content .
Protected search service can be used for various purposes by different users. From parents who want to prevent their children from accessing adult content, to schools that prevent access to this type of site on their network.
How to configure the protected search
Configuring the safesearch is very simple and can be done straight into the browser. See how to keep this setting active on Google. The steps to activate the safesearch on google are:
- Access the search settings .
- In the “ Safesearch Filters ” section, check or uncheck the option located next to the “ Activate Safesearch ” option.
- At the bottom of the page, click Save .
You can also activate the service on Bing Android devices or your iPhone and iPad .
It is also possible to activate protection for all devices on a network connected to the internet. This requires specific settings on routers and network servers.
This method is not very effective. After all, even in small and medium businesses, there are many devices connected to the network. Which, it requires one by one to configure each equipment. And yet, there is always the possibility of the end user (to whom the filter should be applied) have the ability to disable the protected search .
