| SafeSearch option to turn off disabled | neoweapon | 12/11/12 9:01 PM | Google, for some reason the option to turn SafeSearch off is disabled. When i click on the SafeSearch button, i only get "Filter Explicit Results". Furthermore, when i go to Search Settings --> SafeSearch filters, i only get the "Filter explicity r |

| Re: SafeSearch option to turn off disabled | Ross Welborn | 12/11/12 10:00 PM | Just happened to me today, not sure why. Looks like this? |
| Re: SafeSearch option to turn off disabled | Seth Campbelle | 12/11/12 10:12 PM | Same, it's pretty annoying. It's google's new "improved safesearch". Looks like I'm using bing for a while. |
| Re: SafeSearch option to turn off disabled | Allen R | 12/11/12 10:30 PM | I've been trying to deal with this for hours, but if you run the two options which I'm paraphrasing as Filter or Lock, you get few tickets. If you go to the actual pages it still talks about the "no filtering" and "moderate filtering" options, but t |

| Re: SafeSearch option to turn off disabled | southy | 12/11/12 10:58 PM | Bing for a while? I'm thinking of staying on Bing now. Between this and the recent shitty Youtube corrections (which Google owns), I finally woke up about them and realized I have made a mistake. Never put all your eggs into one basket, even a cool c |
| Re: SafeSearch option to turn off disabled | Erik Nordstrom | 12/11/12 11:27 PM | Yes mine looks like this. Why they would do this is beyond me. If someone wants strict filtering let them choose that. But to make everyone have strict filtering is ridiculous. This mainly happens for me on image searches. Is that true for you guys a |
| Re: SafeSearch option to turn off disabled | ayc | 12/11/12 11:55 PM | Hi all, Thanks for passing your feedback along. We're listening and if you have more to say, please let us know. That said, I want to dispel a couple of myths: 1) Strict SafeSearch, as it was formerly known, is not the default experience. It will say |
| Re: SafeSearch option to turn off disabled | Meester Gumby | 12/12/12 12:18 AM | AYC, it is not true what you say "The default setting is designed to show explicit content only when it's most relevant to your search query." try image searching blowjob and you'll see completely irrelevant results. |
| Re: SafeSearch option to turn off disabled | Boogieboy | 12/12/12 12:19 AM | No way. Search results are very different than before with three choices. If I have "filter explicit results" unchecked, then it behaves very different than "no filtering" before. |
| Re: SafeSearch option to turn off disabled | Boogieboy | 12/12/12 12:23 AM | No way. If do not check "Filter explicit results", experience very different that before with "no filtering" selected. Very different. |
| Re: SafeSearch option to turn off disabled | Meester Gumby | 12/12/12 12:30 AM | AYC if indeed you are indeed listening you should know by now, it wasn't broken and now it is. Please return to the former three-tiered approach of safe, moderate, unfiltered. and cease with your ridiculous non-answers. |
| Re: SafeSearch option to turn off disabled | Meester Gumby | 12/12/12 1:11 AM | Okay, here's a workaround: http://google.de has the old system still in place. If you are listening Albert Choi try it yourself. What the new USA system is giving you is "moderate".Quit lying to us Albert Choi, Google employee. |
| Re: SafeSearch option to turn off disabled | Zack Walters | 12/12/12 10:39 AM | Did Google recently hire my mother, Al? I've tested some clearly explicit searches (someone else mentioned "blowjob") and received nothing but stupid motivational memes. This sloppy monkeying with the algo is unbelievable from Google. |

| Re: SafeSearch option to turn off disabled | 名無しのヮの | 12/12/12 11:42 AM | How, uh... How is it that things like "blowjob"'s search results are vastly inferior in relevance to http://google.co.uk and other countries' sites? |
| Re: SafeSearch option to turn off disabled | CatZilla | 12/12/12 11:46 AM | Before, there were three settings: Off, Moderate, Strict. Now, there are two settings: Moderate, Strict. This is pretty straightforward. Give me the ability to turn it off completely, that's all I want. |
| Re: SafeSearch option to turn off disabled | Saaerzern | 12/12/12 12:28 PM | Searches for "boobs" and "blowjobs" are pretty hard to misinterpret. Albert is a liar. |
| Re: SafeSearch option to turn off disabled | grfrog | 12/12/12 1:17 PM | blowjob now brings up lots of pics of little girls, was that your intent? |
| Re: SafeSearch option to turn off disabled | Tony Beauregard | 12/12/12 3:43 PM | What do we have to do to get Google to return our SafeSearch settings? I don't mind if they modify things to make them safer, but there should be a way to turn off safesearch. I don't use Apple products for the censorship that they force on their c |
| Re: SafeSearch option to turn off disabled | Skardon | 12/12/12 3:55 PM | Let people turn off safesearch completely or prepare to lose a lot of users to your competition. Top spot as a search engine is yours to lose and you are doing exactly that with BS like this. |
