Ask Kids has been updated. It's now easier to use with mouse and cursor, since that's what children prefer. It allows movie searches for PG13 or below, some television channels, and it has dictionaries for help on pronunciation. The usual Ask binoculars feature is also available. It's designed for children up to 12. I took a look at it and, though I know nothing about children (other having been one), it looks bright and jolly, with informative results.
As well as web search it provides image and video search as well. I played around with it for a while trying 'naughty' searches and it was very tightly locked down, which is obviously a good thing unless your child is doing a project on Blue Tits!
The search engine worked well, and has the added benefit of coming from the Ask stable, so it's one that I'd recommend for children, with the obvious proviso of trying it out for yourself first.
