RedZee Raises the Bar for 'Kid-Safe' Internet Searches


    ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Major search engines have
opened up an enormous variety of resources for kids and teens of all ages to
find almost anything they search for. Unfortunately it has also created a new
avenue for kids and teens to access pornography through these major engines.
According to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, every year
one out of every five children is sexually solicited online. One of the more
common incidents on the Internet involves children searching for explicit
topics that send kids to pornographic Web sites.
    Major search engines allow unfiltered results and that can be a problem,
especially if kids are doing the searching. This is raising concern across the
nation for schools, parents and even the government. Major search engines
could install filters that would stop users from typing explicit topics.
Unfortunately, pornography is one of the most searched for items and this
would impact their user base and their bottom line.
    The Bush Administration is trying to pass an Internet child protection law
to stop pornographic Web sites from showing up on computers that children are
using. In the process, they recently requested records from Google to see what
people search for. Although Google refused to release the information, the
goal was to see how often a search resulted in a pornographic link. That
protection law was struck down just two years ago, leaving parents, schools
and teens to find ways to get good clean search results. ISE Corporation
created RedZee Search (http://www.RedZee.com), a possible solution to this
problem. RedZee, a new search engine, filters out pornographic results while
delivering accurate relevant searches. "We are filling the desperate need for
a quality search engine that offers clean, yet still accurate, results," says
John Stewart of ISE Corporation. RedZee offers fast search results that are
targeted correctly to what people are looking for. Searches for explicit or
pornographic-related words do not have a result. With the peace of mind this
company is offering they have quickly become popular with parents, teens and
schools across the country. "We take pride in knowing that people count on us
to help in the struggle to clean up Internet searching as we know it," says
Stewart.
    The government may never be completely successful at passing any laws to
keep pornographic search results away from children. In the meantime, RedZee's
quality record sets them apart and continues to push their company to success.
That's why their mission is "to be the most accurate and the most reliable for
adults, and at the same time, think of the children."
