Abstract

With the exploration of Internet information, searching has become an everyday task for both adults and children. Unlike adults, children have more difficulty identifying the Web information and they are more susceptible to unhealthy or misleading information. However, the existing search engines supporting simplified Chinese scarcely tackle this problem. In this paper, we propose a novel search engine called KidSE (kids' search engine) aiming at helping children to access Web knowledge safely and easily. First, the crawler collects information in children's websites. Then, the full-text inverted indexing mechanism and searching mechanism are designed by Lucene. In the process of information preprocessing and query filtering, unhealthy or misleading information is filtered effectively. Finally, Socket network programming is employed to achieve user-server interaction. Experiment shows that KidSE is effective and much safer than other children search engines such as "Baidu Children Search". The proposed work makes contributions to children search engines supporting simplified Chinese, which will have profound effects on children's health and growth.
