Reuters, Orthodox Jews launch "kosher" search engine, 14 Jun 09 "Religiously devout Jews barred by rabbis from surfing the Internet may now "Koogle" it on a new "kosher" search engine, the site manager said on Sunday.

"Yossi Altman said Koogle, a play on the names of a Jewish noodle pudding and the ubiquitous Google, appears to meet the standards of Orthodox rabbis, who restrict use of the Web to ensure followers avoid viewing sexually explicit material."

Lester Haines, The Register, Orthodox Jews tuck into kosher Koogle, 15 Jun 09 "Orthodox Jews - whose religious beliefs have previously kept them a safe distance from the internet - can now avail themselves of a "kosher" search engine, suitably tuned to satisfy even the most demanding rabbi."

Some sections of Koogle appear to still be in development.
