I'm not sure that is "broken" but more like inappropriate. I read an article with a list of bad default results (as in with no filter bubble) that are way worse. Like searching for "tween" on bing shows auto suggestions like "tween swimsuits inappropriate" and "tween budding images". Same for all search engines that uses bing like Brave and DDG (at least at the time I read about it). It seems pretty obvious what those searches are looking for.

Replying to myself here but I reported the issue to Bing. If they don't fix this then not only are they serving inappropriate search suggestions but they also run the risk of a huge shitstorm. I'm amazed it haven't been fixed ..

  I had to see what the outrage was about. What's the big deal with a sears like store selling back to school clothes? Something tells me your results are a little more personalized or you are in a country specific search that isn't the US. Shitstorms these days blow over quickly. Someone is always ready for the next big outrage.

    I don't know what you mean with Sears? Do you mean a search result from Bing? Because I'm not talking about results but about Microsoft taking what I'm guessing is often used searches from people looking for underage girls in inappropriate clothing or pictures of underage girl's breasts (budding, pokies, etc.) and using it as default auto-suggestions for all bing.com users (the suggestions that show up in the search bar when you type). Are you saying you think Microsoft suggesting to people they might want to search for images of 9 to 12 year old girls (tweens) in inappropriate clothing or pictures of their breasts are a good choice of suggestions? The article I read about it in were from the US, 5000+ km from where I'm at, and the results were the exact same as I get (and I don't use Bing). It has nothing to do with me or where I'm at but nice try implying otherwise.
