Update - The site has been renamed.

That won’t last very long because of Google’s soon to be objections. Heck, I would too. Come up with something unique.

How about HeavenSearch?

[trisham]

This is a great idea.

There won't be any objections because they power it :-)

Is it supposed to be working now? I’m getting an error message.

Try Ixquick.

Ixquick protects your privacy and deletes your Privacy details within 48 hours. Ixquick's results are very accurate and Ixquick can handle the most complicated of searches. It also offers an international phone directory, a search for the lowest prices on all kinds of merchandise, and much more...

You can customize your searches to filter out adult content by going to Settings and checking the boxes.

There are a few kinks that need to be worked out. Go ahead and click 'continue' just below the error message.

Thank you for the link. That’s a nice sharp search engine. I especially enjoy the streamlined approach.

[trisham]

Thanks!

I’ve only been using it for about a week, but so far I LIKE it!

Filtering of porn can be done on regular Google. What I would find desirable is to order search results by their relevance to a Catholic. For example, searching for “Madonna” yields endless references to the pop singer, when I am looking for Marian art.

[samiam1972]

Did you search ‘Marian art’? That worked for me! :0)

This is a neat search engine. I’m going to pass it around!

[Cincinna]

Thanks for the new link.

Perhaps CATHOOGLE won’t have problems with Google. The LOGO is really neat!

[annalex]

I can work around Google; it was just a simple example. Google works by sorting matches by popularity of the page. If a million people search for “madonna” and click on the singer by this pseudonym, and a dozen people search for “madonna” and click on Raffaello, the singer will pop ahead of Raffaello. For Cathoogle the ratio might be better than 12:1,000,000.

Yes ... this has become quite the challenge. Note that Cathoogle is powered by Google. Give it a try and let us know the results.

[Revolting cat!]

What’s a CAT HOOGLE? Give it some decent, meaningful name, like Churoogle, Vatoogle, or Commugle!

[samiam1972]

I know. I was just teasing you. :o)

[annalex]

Well, here’s the first problem: no image search.
