Google made some changes a while back:

But that might not be enough to satisfy some users. A Reddit thread this morning found users struggling to find explicit content even with SafeSearch turned off.

"What is this? communism?!" asked user Fake_Cakeday. "BRING BACK THE PORN!"

Google claims that making the searches more specific will yield better results.

I hate to admit it, but Bing, in my eyes, dishes out more relevant results when safe search is turned off. Bing doesn't require you to jump through all the hoops.

As much as I think MS deserves some bashing, this may be an area where they outshine Google.

Hahaha, that's an interesting twist

I guess I'm not the first to notice this:

With safe search off, the change is quite dramatic (and I find refreshing). Type "amateur" in image search and you'll see something like this. Go to Bing and image search "amateur" and you get endless porn. The contrast is dramatic. I started out the process primarily for reference, being unable to turn back the clock and see what Google presented before. But I recall porn presented as images on a page. Bing does much more.

I'm going to put up a screenshot of image search using the same term:

For contrast, here's Google's image results for the same term:

Kind of disappointing, no?
