I Cannot Take Safesearch Off My Internet Explorer

SafeSearch: Turn on or off

Many people prefer not to have adult content included in their search results (especially if kids use the same computer). SafeSearch filters provide you with the ability to change your browser setting to prevent adult content from appearing in your search results. No filter is 100 percent accurate, but SafeSearch should help you avoid most of this type of material.

SafeSearch for Google Images Learn to control your Images experience using SafeSearch and how to report offensive images to Google. Check out http://support.google.com/images for more information. Turn SafeSearch on or off

1. Visit the Search Settings page at www.google.com/preferences. ;
2. In the "SafeSearch filters" section:
   • Turn on SafeSearch by checking the box next to "Filter explicit results." This will filter sexually explicit video and images from Google Search result pages, as well as results that might link to explicit content.
   • Turn off SafeSearch by leaving the box unchecked. With SafeSearch off, we will provide the most relevant results for your query and may serve explicit content when you search for it.

3. Make sure to click the Save button at the bottom of the page.

If you're signed in to your Google Account, you can also lock the SafeSearch filter so others don't change it by clicking Lock SafeSearch.

Firewalls, proxies, and anti-virus programs are often configured to periodically delete cookies. If you access Google from behind one of these programs, you may have to reset your preferences periodically.

Your internet service provider (ISP) or network administrator can override your SafeSearch setting. If you find that your setting is not reflected in the search results you see, please contact your ISP or network administrator for more information.

Report explicit content

We do our best to keep SafeSearch as up-to-date and comprehensive as possible, but objectionable content sometimes slips through the cracks. If you have SafeSearch set to filter explicit content, but still come across it, please let us know.

Stay safe on the Web

Also, please note that no filter can replace a watchful eye. SafeSearch can serve as one of many tools and practices to help your family search the web more safely. For more pointers on keeping your family safe on the web, visit Google's Family Safety Center.
