Sweet Search (and search engines like it) are so fantastic for the elementary school setting where we want to help focus the search a little and return results that we know will be quality. They don't always have the crap detector honed yet in the younger grades.
Thomas, thank you for this terrific review of SweetSearch and our other products. The Internet and new technologies make this a very exciting time in education, rife with opportunities. We're thrilled to play a role in helping educators teach students how to use the Internet effectively.
