    What is Yahoo! SafeSearch?

    Yahoo!'s SafeSearch feature is designed to filter out explicit, adult-oriented content from Yahoo! Search results. Though Yahoo! cannot guarantee that all explicit content will be recognized and removed from your results, your search results are filtered to remove possibly objectionable material. SafeSearch can be set to one of three modes:

    • Strict: Filters out mature content in both Image Search and Web Search
    • Moderate: Filters out mature content in Image Search only
    • Off: Does not filter search results

    You can select the preferred setting in the "Preferences" section of Yahoo! Search (click the "Preferences" link located under the search box). By default, it is set to "Moderate". Additionally, the preference setting can be password protected so you can be assured that any time your computer is in use, the results are filtered.

    Note: Yahoo! SafeSearch cannot guarantee that all explicit content will recognized and filtered out.
