  I didn't think this could be accurate. I went to Google Shopping myself and searched for "Glue Gun"... no results, holy shit.

    Yup, same for "water gun" someone at Google needs their head checking. This is incredible on so many levels.

    > Matt Cutts, the Google engineer who designed SafeSearch four years ago, said his algorithm looks for a "relatively small" number of trigger words in a Web page's address. If one of those words appears, the SafeSearch algorithm puts the address on a block list and does not take the next step of evaluating the content of the site. "We try to find the best trade-off of precision, recall and safety," Cutts said. "People who opt in to SafeSearch are mostly OK with us being on the conservative side." Matt “Cutts” your traffic since 2000. Though he’s not at Google anymore he was always emblematic of the stop-doing-that-on-my-site-(that-I-crawled-the-internet-to-put-you-on) culture at Google. Always taking a machete to a scalpel fight and always to the customer facing side first and never to the ingest and analysis side

  The silly thing is they already perfected this technology for porn years ago. If you go to GIS and type in "naked mole rat", as disturbing as the results are, there's no porn.
