Google now censors what they deem explicit search content. Users are already complaining:

Search for a NSFW word on Google & you get filtered results. Go to settings and there's no longer a "no filtering" option. After testing Google's new censored results a bit more, it seems you can get explicit results by entering two word or more phrases. Odd.

A Google worker has chimed in on forums indicating that nothing much has changed for those who don't want to use the Safe Search option. But users disagree:
