How can I turn on Child Search with MSN Search Query Parameters like yahoo and google do?

Hello, with google and yahoo search you can easily add a query parameter (like &vm=1) to the search url to enforce safe search/child search. How can you do this with msn search Right now we can't allow msn search since it doesn't support this feature.

    As far as I see something like http://search.msn.com/results.aspx q=playboy&FORM=QBHP&safesearch=strict is not possible with MSN Search and this is the wrong forum for your question.

    MSN Search supposes that you set the SafeSearch mode per user and computer with cookies, i. e. every user has its own SafeSearch settings. On MSN Search settings you can set SafeSearch to Strict to filter sexually explicit text and image results. The default value is Moderate.

    If you are a developer and like to have a solution where nobody is able to change the SafeSearch settings you can use a web service client for the MSN Search Web Services with SafeSearch Strict.

    No, that's not what I mean.

    I'm talking the plain search site.

    for example can I rewrite
    http://search.msn.com/results.aspx q=playboy&FORM=QBHP

    to something like this

    http://search.msn.com/results.aspx q=playboy&FORM=QBHP&safe=active

    to force safe search both yahoo and google can do this and it overrides what's in the client's cookie. if there is a better forum to ask this, please let me know.

    Do you mean the MSN Search Web Services/Windows Live Search API

    The MSN Search Web Services supports three modes for save search:

    • If SafeSearchis set to Strict, SafeSearch will filter out both sexually explicit text results and sexually explicit images.
    • If SafeSearchis set to Moderate, SafeSearch will filter out only sexually explicit images. Moderate is the default setting.
    • If SafeSearchis set to Off, SafeSearch does not filter the results for sexually explicit content.

    Take a look at the WSDL and note that you cannot use MSN Search Web Services with CGI Queries, e. g. server.com parm1=x&parm2=y, but only with SOAP.

    Take a look at an ASP.NET 2.0 Client.
