NAVR good play long term keeper found this if anyone is interested-NTWO-don't know what search engines are worth so I stay out of them. Searchopolis.com Ranked #1 Kids Search Engine;N2H2's Teen Education Portal Edges Out Yahooligans and Ask Jeeves SEATTLE, Sept. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Stating it "does the best job of offering filtered yet rich results," the nation's premier resource for children's software reviews rated Searchopolis from N2H2 (Nasdaq: NTWO) "the best" youth-oriented search engine. In its September/October issue, Children's Software Revue awarded Searchopolis five stars -- a virtually perfect score, ahead of Yahooligans, Ask Jeeves for Kids and AOL NetFind Kids Only. Searchopolis placed first in five of seven categories. The journal praised Searchopolis for being "safe * easy to use * speedy * powerful. This is the best place to go if you really have a tough question." The accolade comes as Searchopolis returns to America's middle and high schools as a full-featured education portal -- encompassing filtered e-mail, classroom calendars, Web-based grade and homework reporting, rich curriculum and reference resources, even a Virtual Locker for storing students' stuff, along with the Inktomi-powered, N2H2-filtered search engine that gave Searchopolis its name. The sponsor-supported site is available without cost to schools using N2H2's industry-leading Bess filtering system. N2H2 President and Chief Executive Officer Peter Nickerson called the Children's Software Revue article "a wonderful honor from one of the most highly respected voices in the youth software and technology industry. With Bess providing a safe Internet as a foundation, Searchopolis furthers N2H2's mission of changing the way students are educated by offering innovative technology in a productive environment." Parents, teachers, librarians, children's software industry and dozens of national and education based publications rely on the information provided in the Children's Software Revue as a guide to quality youth software.
