Enabling age appropriate searching

Some popular search engines (like Yahoo! and Google) offer "safe
searching"—a search setting that prevents potentially
inappropriate search results from appearing in their result lists.
These search engines usually let you choose how restrictive you
want safe search filtering to be, but also let you or any other user
turn it off at any time.
In Parental Controls, age-appropriate searching is a convenient
way to make sure that "safe searching" is always turned on for a
user when using one of the following search engines:
Google™
MSN®
Windows® Live Search
Yahoo!®
If you enable age-appropriate searching, we'll make sure that the
search engine's safe search filtering is turned on for that user and
set to its most restrictive setting—and if a user tries to turn it off
(in the search engine's preferences or advanced settings), we'll
automatically turn it on again.
By default, age-appropriate searching is enabled for all users
except administrators and those in the Adult age group. For more
information about setting a user's age group, see
content rating group
Enable age-appropriate searching
By default, new users are added to the Adult group and age
appropriate searching is disabled. If you want to make sure that
the safe searching filtering offered by some popular search
engines is turned on for an Adult user, you can enable age
appropriate searching.
