@Huh?

Note the sentence “blacklisted for their “Instant” search function” . . . Google has a list of words that will not come up *instantly* with results when you type them in, most notably sexual terms (you’ll have to press enter to see your results, in other words).

For example, I can get as far as “assm” (and its drop-down results of “assmann electronics”, “assmann plastic tanks”, etc.) before Google realizes nothing PG-13 is likely forthcoming from my search and stops its suggestions.

Thanks for the love Violet. The only stuff we removed from the list were people’s names (such as yours) as it was difficult to make them make sense in the context of the message, and the racist stuff (as its just a bit nasty)… everything else is still in there :)
