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. 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!. but was later relaunched as its own search engine in 2017. In July 2016, Blucora announced the sale of its InfoSpace business to OpenMail for $45 million, putting Zoo.com under the ownership of OpenMail. OpenMail was later renamed System1. == References ==
