Norton Safe Search enhances your Web search experience. When you search the Internet using Norton Safe Search, it uses Ask.com to generate search results. Norton Safe Search provides site safety status and Norton rating for each of the search results generated.
By default, the Norton Safe Search box is disabled. After you install Norton Internet Security and open Internet Explorer or Firefox for the first time, an alert message is displayed. The alert message prompts you to enable Norton Safe Search. You can choose to enable or disable Norton Safe Search.
As you type a few letters in the search box, Norton Safe Search displays the search suggestions in the search box pop-up. You can see the search suggestions after you type three or more characters in the search box. It also provides you the intelligent search-as-you-type feature that displays search suggestions when you type a few letters of the search phrase.
In addition, Norton Safe Search provides the following features:
| Filters the unsafe Web sites | When you search the Internet using Norton Safe Search, it analyzes the security levels of the Web sites and displays the search results.
