CatholicGoogle is a brand new search engine based on Google’s custom search. The service strives “to provide an easy to use resource to anyone wanting to learn more about Catholicism and provide a safer way for good Catholics to surf the web.”
The site uses a permanently-on Google SafeSearch to filter out profanity and pornography, along with a filter for specific topics that manages to send Catholic-related results to the top of the heap.
The search engine would probably appeal to most Catholics if it actually worked. However, most of the time it does not.
For example, when it comes to filtering topics beyond the standard offensive categories, CatholicGoogle really only delivers results that are slightly more offensive. A search for “sex” offers an article bashing the Church’s stance on sexuality.
This is sort of a tag-along to GodTube, the YouTube for Christians. I also can’t imagine how long it could possibly take before they are sued for copyright infringement.
