OK, it does not look as if there has been anyone but me visiting this blog in a while, so this might not be the most effective “plug” for something, but I am going to make a plug for ProLifeSearch
I am sure that all of you have heard about the mega Internet search engine called Google; you want to find the website for something, you just “google it.” Well, a few months ago I found out about ProLifeSearch from “Priests for Life.” It is a search engine, powered by Google, that was created by two Catholic, married men. You use it just like the regular Google to search for whatever you are looking for. So why use it? Well there are two very big reasons:
1. They give at least 50% of their profit to Pro Life groups to continue their fight against the Culture of Death. That, in and of itself, is a great reason. How they make their profit, well, I only have a vague idea. I do know that it does not cost me anything to use it, not even when you register. I guess advertisers look at how many “hits” they get and use that informaton. But it is effortless money for the Pro Life movement. If you use the Net, you undoubtably search for stuff on the Net, so you might as well use ProLifeSearch to help you search.
2. It is a “safer” search engine for those of us who try to live our Catholic/Christian faith. Have you ever searched for something on the Internet, and in addition to getting the listing for what you are looking for, you also get so-called “adult” sites? Well, ProLifeSearch has a built in filter so when you search for something, it will block out anything that would be immoral (OK, it probably does not block the “adult” sites, they can be wilely, but it does its best to block them all).
I use Firefox for my web browser, and I quickly figured out how to change the default for my search window (which is to the right of the address line) from regular Google to ProLifeSearch. I could not figure out how to make the change in Safari, but I only tried for less than 5 minutes because I do not use Safari much. I cannot help you if you use Internet Explorer or Netscape or whatever they use on Windows machines because I am very happy to be a Mac user. Please take a look at ProLifeSearch.
