Many users prefer not
to have adult content included in their search results (especially if
kids use the
same computer). Google's SafeSearch filters provide you
with the ability to change your browser setting to prevent adult
content from appearing in your search results. Google uses automated
methods to identify objectionable content, and constantly works to
improve those methods based on user feedback. For sexually explicit
content, our filter mainly relies on algorithms that look at many
factors, including keywords, links, and images. No filter is 100
percent accurate, but SafeSearch should help you avoid most of this
type of material.
Using
one of the SafeSearch websites listed above means that
SafeSearch is always activated, regardless
of your computer browser settings.
To control search
from without your browser, you can choose from
among three SafeSearch
settings:
- Strict filtering
filters sexually explicit video and images from Google Search result
pages, as well as results that might link to explicit content.
- Moderate filtering
excludes sexually explicit video and images from Google Search result
pages, but does not filter results that might link to explicit content.
This is the default SafeSearch setting.
- No filtering, as
you've probably figured out, turns off SafeSearch filtering completely.
