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 search information is retained by your browser and can be extracted
by the next site you visit. Search Filter blocks this information from being
passed along to the next site.
If you have Search Filter selected in Security Settings, Guard Dog
automatically removes search information before you go to another Web site.
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 Browser Buddy.
