AOL Search - SafeSearch

Many users prefer not to have adult sites included in their search results, especially if their kids use the computer. AOL search offers you the SafeSearch feature, which prevents sites containing explicit sexual content from appearing in your search results. No filter is 100 percent effective, but SafeSearch eliminates most inappropriate sites from your search results.

To turn the SafeSearch feature on/off:

1. Go to AOL Search.

2. Click Settings.

3. In the SafeSearch section, choose the option you prefer and then click the Save Settings button. The options available are listed below:

• Use strict filtering - filters explicit text and images
• Use moderate filtering - filters explicit images
• Turn SafeSearch Off - no filtering

4. Click OK.

You’re done! AOL Search will begin to display results as per your SafeSearch preference.
