Adding SAFESEARCH to Google’s Site Search

You can read the posting directly before this one to see some of the dangers of using Google’s Search Box on your website, and this is especially true of Churches. On Google’s page with the code for puting a great little search box on your website, they give you three options.

1. Google Free web search
2. Google Free SafeSearch
3. Google Free web search with site search

I want number 4, which doesn’t exist, but its easy to make it yourself…

You can grab the code for all of these after you accept the terms and conditions on this page: http://www.google.com/searchcode.html The last is the best, as it lets users search your site for content. The problem is that Google don’t supply a way for you to turn SAFESEARCH on for this option. Most of you interested in this won’t have explicit material on your site that would come up, but the search page does have Ads on it, and these are not filtered unless SAFESEARCH is turned on. Again, read the post directly before this to see how an Anglican Media Group in Melbourne Australia served me links to lots of bi-curious singles when I searched for a statement of belief on sexuality. There is only one thing that needs changing in the code of the Google Free web search with site search to turn SAFESEARCH on. How? Change the sixth line of code from to Done. Enjoy not serving porn to your parishoners.
