Search Preferences - MetaCrawler

Use the following options to customize your default search settings.

Please note: These settings will be applied to all future searches, except for those done using Advanced Search. Search results will only be returned by partners who are compatible with the features you select.

Search Filter

Filter potentially explicit content from search results. Filter: None will return potentially graphic results.
Please note: Results pages will display a message noting that the Search Filter is On.

Warning! The Search Filter is designed to filter out sexually explicit material from your results. However, we cannot guarantee that all explicit material will be removed.

Tip! This will set the Search Filter for all of your searches at MetaCrawler. To set the Search Filter for just one search, use the Advanced Search page.

	Filter: None - All search results will be returned, including any with explicit content.

	Filter: Moderate - Multimedia Search Results will be filtered with as much potentially explicit content as possible removed. Web search results will not be screened.

	Filter: Heavy - All results will be filtered, including Web and Multimedia Search results with as much explicit context removed as possible.

Spelling Correction

Tip! If you do not have misspellings automatically corrected, the standard "did you mean" on the results page will still appear for any apparent misspellings.
