What Search Filter does
When you perform a search in your Web browser, the search information is
displayed in the address box of your Web browser. When you go to another
site, the browser retains the search information and the next site you visit can
extract it without your knowledge. Search Filter blocks this information from
being passed along to the next site.
If you have Search Filter selected in the Security Settings of Internet Guard
Dog, it automatically removes search information before you go to another
Web site. Internet Guard Dog does not display an alert message for this
feature, but you can see the number of times Search Filter blocks this
information in the Browser Buddy.
