Hi all, I have been thinking about this subject for a while, and thought of writing about it here, to see if anyone on W3C TAG member list is interested in this topic. I like the following Google search engine preferences page: http://www.google.com/preferences We can simply set some search preferences here, and the Google search engine obeys these preferences very well. I particularly found the preference, "SafeSearch Filtering" quite useful. We can set these preferences, without logging into Google account, and that looks nice to me. These preference settings must be made separately on each different web browser, installed on the same machine. I feel, a preferences like, "SafeSearch Filtering" must be part of W3C web architecture (or perhaps some kind of search engine guidelines). All search engines must provide such an option, else they should be considered non-compliant to exist on web. I could not see this option in Yahoo search engine. I couldn't look at other search engines. Since web impacts society as whole, I feel there should be some mechanism of enforcing such standards, which affect some people's lives. I even wrote a blog post, somewhat relate to this topic (ref, http://mukulgandhi.blogspot.com/2009/10/saving-electricity-while-using.html). Any comments please, on this topic? -- Regards, Mukul Gandhi
