The new Google Instant tries to guess what you’re searching for while you type. But not if it thinks your search is dirty. Some enterprising people have compiled an exhaustive list of words and phrases Google Instant won’t auto-search for.

For all these, you have to actually press “enter” to get any results. This will protect children, or something. Blacklisted phrases include the obvious:

“nipples”

“milf”

“naked”

“motherfucker”

“pamela anderson”

“pissing”

“porn”

“spic”

“titties”

“white power”

The possibly-innocuous:

“dirty pillows”

“get my sister”

“hairy”

“licked”

“nude”

“seduced”

“submissive”

“tushy”

And the downright-confusing:

“women rapping”

“style doggy”

“servitude”

“nimphomania (sic)”

“leather straight jacket”

“hedop”

“new pornographers”

“[anything] is evil”

Plus many more! Does your favorite sexual fixation/racial epithet make the blacklist? See the whole thing at 2600.com. [via Boing Boing]
