Kindernet!
Kindernet!. This is a search engine for children. The interface isn't terribly exciting, and won't really attract or appeal to their age group audience of 12 or under. However, it seems to do a good job - I did the rather boring dictionary of rude words test with it, and it worked very well - either giving no results, results that were appropriate for children and excluded the adult interpretation or popped up a box pointing out that some words in the search couldn't be used.
As well as a web search option you could search for images, there's a page of reference tools available and a site of the day. If you're looking for a search engine to use with children you might want to research this one for a while (please don't assume that it's safe based on my very brief tests!). I'd be happier if they re-designed it to make it more visually appealing for youngsters though.

Phil - thanks for the feedback!I take note of the criticism, and we're looking at the layout this month. We should be launching a new look in August.
