Abstract
Methods for factoring search and browse policies and content preferences into Web search results are provided. Such search and browse policies and/or content preferences generally are provided by a parent, an employer, or other company representative and specify to whom they apply. Upon receiving a search query from a particular user, it is determined whether one or more search and browse policies and/or content preferences apply to the received search query. Upon determining that one or more search and browse policies and/or content preferences apply to the received search query, at least one of the received search query and any search results determined as satisfying the search query are analyzed in accordance with the one or more applicable search and browse policies and/or content preferences applying to the user. Any necessary modifications are made to the search results before the results are presented to the user.
