Griffin, Sr. is the mastermind behind StopDog.com,
one of the largest filtered search engines in America and
once a directory second in size only to Yahoo. Dedicated to
delivering quick clean reliable filtered information through
Internet data search, StopDog.com began as a research project
in 1999 and evolved into a state of the art high performance
search engine utilizing proprietary text filtering technology
to provide Internet material to content minded organizations
and individuals. StopDog relies on Google filtered results
combined with Wikipedia and its own private database. StopDog is a free public tool and generates no revenue.
Having employed
some of the best web developers from around the world, StopDog
is a premier search engine of choice for individuals, educators,
institutions and corporations desiring access to the world-wide-web
in a safe environment. We are proud of our commitment to our
users and are constantly striving to improve our functionality.
It is the policy of StopDog to filter out material not suited
for general audiences.
StopDog
is a powerful Internet search engine which crawls the web
for material it's software applications deem appropriate for
viewership. Because the web is a constantly changing environment
of billions of webpages, a small number of inappropriate websites
may and sometimes do slip through the filtering process. We
constantly strive to improve StopDog Filtered Search Engine
Results.
StopDog can fulfill a website ranking request for
approved keywords in seconds and in 2010, provided 2 million
search requests. If you are interested in investing in StopDog,

The
creation process
The
process of creating the StopDog Search Engine has taken over
3,000 man hours to date. The original filtering application used an algorithm
of geometric shapes and color patterning, text filters and
other variables to block undesirable material. StopDog uses
or has used, PHP, ASP, ASPX, AJAX, C, C#, XML, HTML, iFrames,
JAVA, and Perl, while hosted on Free BSD, Linux, and Microsoft
Server platforms using a MySQL database. Seven programmers
have worked on StopDog whose education represents over 40
years of college. StopDog generates no revenue and it was
my desire to create a free public service. "To date, I have
spent in excess of $350,000 on the application, hardware and
maintenance. I hope to some day bring it to its full potential.
If you have a philanthropist urge, please contact me" - Joe
