About Good50 Search Engine
Good50 search engine is powered by Google, customized so that
it would be more readable and user-friendly to everyone including older adults,
senior citizens, school-aged children, and high screen-resolution
laptop users. Because Good50 is powered by Google, you will see
high quality search results, the same as you would with Google,
but in a different format.
Since it started, Good50 has hosted over 900,000 searches!
Please read on and discover the many unique features of Good50!
1. Good50 is the world's most readable search engine.
Our default search results are preset to be at a slightly larger font size than normal for easy reading. Also, Good50 has a high contrast version for people with low vision.
Larger Search Box: Designed with the public's health in mind, Good50 has pre-set
the search box font to a larger size. When typing in a search term, you can strain your eyes trying to
distinguish between similar looking letters and symbols, but
with a larger search box, it's no problem. Here's an example:
Good50: iI1li[t!lil
Other search engines: iI1li[t!lil
Search Results for Easy Reading: Also, our search results are
preset to be at a larger font size than normal for easy reading
and to help reduce
strain on the eyes.
Low-vision Friendly: Good50 has a high
contrast version for people with low vision. This option can
also help save energy on a CRT monitor as a black background
takes less energy to display than a white one. So, why not Go
Green!
2. Good50 is kid-safe and family-friendly.
Good50 automatically displays search results with SafeSearch on. Sites and
web pages containing adult content are
excluded from web search results.
Now, you know what Good50 is all about. If you
think Good50 is for you and your family, consider making
Good50
your default homepage so every time you open your web browser,
you can start from Good50.

How It Started
Good50
was launched in January of 2010 by Sunmee Huh and her younger
sister Dahlia. Sunmee was a 16 year old junior in high school
and Dahlia was just 12 years old. The sisters were visiting
their grandparents and saw that their grandfather was struggling
using the Internet search engine. So, together they created Good50 for
him over the winter break using Google custom search API. They
also wanted to give back to society through the site.
News & Media
"Sunmee Huh does not want to be the next Mark Zuckerberg or Bill
Gates. When she created the search engine Good50, her intention
was not to strike it rich or create an Internet phenomenon
like Facebook, which Zuckerberg founded..." -- Excerpt from
The Washington Post article, February
25, 2010.
AARP Bulletin's wrote a short story about Good50. You can view the page here.
What People Say
"A search engine that's making a change"
-- (Maryland Department of Disabilities,
Technology Assistance Program, Newsletter Spring 2010)
"Again, I wanted you to know your efforts are appreciated.
It is not the number of people who's life you make a difference
to. Just that you make a difference in the life of 1 is all that
matters. Just one is how it begins. Remember this always. Bless
You." -- Vic Linares, NYC
"I want to thank you for your Good50 search engine. I read
about it this morning in the AARP newsletter and have sent the
information to all my friends. I do have a Down's Syndrome son
with vision problems and know that this would be great for him
and his friends." --
Patsy (AARP Member, Orange Beach, AL)
"After reading this article I tried the search engine and
love it! There are times my eyes are tired and this helps. I'm
sending a link to friends who have eye problems!"
