KidRex.org is a visual child-safe search engine powered by Google Programmable Search Engine. The website utilizes Google SafeSearch and maintains its own database of inappropriate websites and keywords. Additionally, social media websites are blocked by KidRex.[1][2][3] Kidrex Pro is a premium version of the website with more features. In 2019, Kidrex Pro was stated to be re-imagined into a brand new service.[4][5]
The site theme is stylized with colorful hand-drawn crayon and colored marker. Kidrex search results are both colorful and visual, designed for desktop use. The site is not mobile friendly. Looking up a blocked search term used to result in a 404 crayon-stylized error page, and would ask the user to "try again."
As of August 8, 2021, search results are redirected to Google, and the aforementioned search terms are no longer blocked.
KidRex.org was launched in December 2008. In 2013, Time magazine put KidRex on its list of the top 50 websites of 2013 and compared it to Google.[6]
In 2018, KidRex was acquired by Alarms.org. In a blog post, Alarms.org assured users that nothing would change in the near future. They told users that "the only thing we've done so far is remove the annoying ads that were on the bottom of the home page". Additionally, Alarms.org stated that they "have a long list of features in mind for KidRex, including a mobile app, customized versions for your school, and more.[7]
In 2018, doubt was cast over KidRex's "safe search" claims, when a security researcher was able to use the search engine to return adult-orientated content search results.[8]

This is a list of content-control software and services. The software is designed to control what content may or may not be viewed by a reader, especially when used to restrict material delivered over the Internet via the Web, e-mail, or other means. Restrictions can be applied at various levels: a government can apply them nationwide, an ISP can apply them to its clients, an employer to its personnel, a school to its teachers or students, a library to its patrons or staff, a parent to a child's computer or computer account or an individual to his or her own computer.
Web search engines are listed in tables below for comparison purposes. The first table lists the company behind the engine, volume and ad support and identifies the nature of the software being used as free software or proprietary software. The second and third table lists internet privacy aspects along with other technical parameters, such as whether the engine provides personalization (alternatively viewed as a filter bubble). Defunct or acquired search engines are not listed here.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
