[bcab] Re: Search on Google query

i there
I am now finding that Ask Jeaves is better search engine than Google especially using Hal or any other screen reader it is not so cluttered and i will continue to use that rather than Google as I found that was ridiculous and too much clutter .

hi Derek. Safe search is on by default and just means it is a moderated search from which offensive 
websites are excluded.  Quote from Google below.

SafeSearch filtering
Many users prefer not to have adult sites included in search results (especially if kids use the same computer). Google's SafeSearch screens for sites that contain explicit sexual content and deletes them from your search results. No filter is 100 percent accurate, but SafeSearch should 
eliminate most inappropriate material.

You can choose from among three SafeSearch settings:
Moderate filtering - excludes most explicit images from Google Image Search results but doesn't filter ordinary web search results. This is your default SafeSearch setting; you'll receive moderate 
filtering unless you change it.
Strict filtering - applies SafeSearch filtering to all your search results (i.e. both image search 
and ordinary web search).
No filtering, as you've probably figured out, turns off SafeSearch filtering completely.
You can also adjust your SafeSearch settings on the Advanced Search or the Advanced Image Search 
pages on a per search basis.
We do our best to keep SafeSearch as up-to-date and comprehensive as possible, but inappropriate sites will sometimes slip through the cracks. If you have SafeSearch activated and still find websites containing offensive content in your results, please visit our webpage removal request tool 
to tell us about the site or image you found.
For more pointers on keeping your family safe on the web, please read Google's Tips for Online 
Safety.

Hi All
What does "safe" mean  when using Google?
When I do  a search, I often get the word "safe"

Does it mean the link goes to a site that has no images pictures
Or does it mean there is no virus  detected on the site?
Is this a windows  message  or Google?


Thanks
Regards, Derek
