History
InfoSpace launched Zoo.com on November 14, 2006, as a kid-friendly metasearch engine after InfoSpace, through conducting their own survey, claimed that kids who are more reliant on the internet are more likely to encounter material inappropriate for them.[2]
Zoo.com competed with other kid-friendly search engines at the time such as Yahoo!'s Yahooligans, AOL's Study Buddy, Ask's Ask for Kids and KidsClick!.[1] The metasearch engine used several methods to filter out adult content such as adult sites and adult phrases and did not show results for certain search queries, such as "sex".[1]
In 2014, MetaCrawler, another metasearch engine owned by InfoSpace, was merged into Zoo.com,[3] but was later relaunched as its own search engine in 2017.[4]
In July 2016, Blucora announced the sale of its InfoSpace business to OpenMail for $45 million, putting Zoo.com under the ownership of OpenMail.[5] OpenMail was later renamed System1.[6]
