Wow, good find. wtf.gif

I never even heard of this. It certainly can't be worse than Jimbo's Wikia search engine. dry.gif

It's interesting. It does have a content filter on by default though with no option to turn it off or vary the level of censorship. Merely informing you in one line that "Results may contain adult-oriented content." and presenting you with a blank page. Any phrase searched for that contains the more earthy Anglo-Saxon words will do this, though the phrases when entered into the other search engines won't show any actual pornography.

They've covered all George Carlin's seven dirty words, though they seem to have missed cock juggling thundercunt, oddly only giving three results for it and missing out both Empire magazines entry for it and the wonderful actress/comedian Emma Kennedy use of it in Richard Herring's podcast.

Other results in general seem to be very haphazard, most of them giving high places to Wikipedia as google does, sending kids to Wikipedia would seem to negate the whole point of their PG-13 rated search engine.

I'm curious what else they censor.
