I certainly understand what you're saying, but I'm not sure I can agree that there will be a parting of ways. What I *think* will happen, or is happening now, is that the non-specific search will default to non-porn results and porn surfers will have to make it fairly obvious that porn is what they want with their search phrase. But then again, Google already has the Safe Search option for those who do not want adult material. And I think it defaults to the Safe option and you have to choose (and get cookied for) the non Safe option. So why bother filtering beyond that? I don't know.

I'd be inclined to think that the effectiveness of Safe Search would depend on the user being aware that an ambiguity existed. Muslim surfers with an interest in The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) might well be mortified to discover that their search uncovered sites depicting attractive older women who like to fuck younger men.

Google does need to get it right. And the harder they try, the harder it seems to get.

The thing that stands out to me with this situation is the amount of surfers looking for the Moro Islamic Liberation Front vs. the amount of surfers looking for hot older women when searching for "MILF" is lopsided.

It seems impossible to me to think that Google can figure out based on someone searching for "MILF", that they are really looking for the Muslim site. I would guess that nearly all people searching for that term are looking for porn.

Since Google doesn't know what exactly the surfer might want for this term, what's the problem with offering them a choice in the way of two different types of sites that are referred to with the same acronym? It is not Googles fault that the Muslims named their organization in such a way that it uses the same acronym as Moms I'd Like To Fuck!

What do you want to happen? You want a search for "MILF" to only return results for Moro Islamic Liberation Front? Or are you saying Moro Islamic Liberation Front shouldn't be returned as a result? MILF stands for Mothers I like to fuck AND Moro Islamic Liberation Front. Both are relevant to the query term "MILF." With a more targeted qualifier (e.g. "sexy milf") the Islamic Liberat Front site disappears from the results, which is exactly how it should be.

Of course "a more targeted qualifier" would work. But therein lies the problem. Why should some muslim scholar feel compelled to dis-associate himself from results linked to porn. And why should he/she feel the need to be be conversant with Google's filter options before making a search.

If search results were automatically filtered with porn this way and mainstrean that way, there wouldn't be a problem. And if solving the problem seems difficult, then I'd suggest that Google has all the money it needs to get the job done.

Why should some average joe have to see those irrelevant muslim results when searching for MILF? I know why.... Because you want special treatment. Guess what.... You ain't getting it.

My latest research has revealed something very relevant.

eman - this has actually been going on since 2003 - their first attempt at this was to start filtering just the english language results and for one keyword "sex"
If you look at the browser bar - the &hl= term describes the language the results are in and you can certainly change it to see what the rest of the world (outside of the US, UK, CA and AU) sees - there is an amazing difference in "filtering" although Google themselves on another board called it censoring

Example:
Take that same keyword
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...=Google+Search
and you get what the US sees

Now change the url:
http://www.google.gr/search?q=sex&hl=el&start=0&sa=N

And you see that the filtering isnt taking place

Its been progressing over certain words and phrases for the last 4 years and they must be playing with the filtering again as the xxx term keeps going between mainstream and porn - and has for at least 3 years that Ive followed that specific term in my spreadsheets
