I signed in, and even following their instructions, there is no option to turn off "safe search".

Maybe I'll just start using Bing, as Heff suggested.

Bing works, apparently like Google used to.

I see three options on Bing for safe search, on off and moderate. Why Google dropped this only in the US is puzzling but my guess is it has something to do with some overly puritanical group and Google catering to them? Who knows?

IXquick aka startpage.com also has the same options as Bing, that's my favorite search engine because of its privacy policy, so I think it's even better than Bing.

Try duckduckgo.com... . its very googlesc. It doesn't filter any content and it doesn't remove results from your query like google does:

google response when searching for certain things like movies.

In response to a complaint we received under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act, we have removed 2 result(s) from this page. If you wish, you may read the DMCA complaint that caused the removal(s) at ChillingEffects.org.


Also I wonder if the true intention of removing the safe search is because of the porn lobbying industry?
