New sort option on Lycos

[Dan Robinson Indexing Services <drobinson@INFO.HWWILSON.COM>]

I heard a news report today on a new 'filtering' option on Lycos. It
was reported as a way for parents to 'filter' out sexually oriented
sites from a Lycos search.

I went to the Lycos site and finally found it as SafetyNet. In the
description, it states that by turning the feature on, it forces
sexually oriented sites to the bottom of a search set.

It will be interesting to see if the other search engines implement
something similar. If anyone has 'oops' searches from last year it
would be interesting to know if the feature works as advertised.

(it *would*  come out when most of the list is one vacation <grin>)
