The Yahoo! Web Search database reflects content throughout the Internet and is built from billions of documents on web sites around the world. Our primary goal is to provide quick, intuitive access to the wide variety of information available on the Web.

We do not aim to judge web content for appropriateness or to censor materials that we find offensive or inappropriate. Instead, we present information as it is reflected on the Web, allowing you to draw your own informed conclusions about what you see.

You might find some documents personally, politically, or morally objectionable, while others might find those same documents useful or interesting. We want the search database to represent the content of the Web as accurately as possible.

If you seek the removal of content that you allege infringes intellectual property rights held by you or a party on whose behalf you are authorized to act, please visit our Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy for a summary of the required elements of an effective notification of infringement the Yahoo! contact information for submitting such notifications.

Yahoo! does have guidelines for index inclusion or exclusion to protect the accuracy and correctness of our search results. Web sites or pages that are not in compliance with our Search Content Quality Guidelines or contain objectionable content that is misrepresented by the web site might be removed from the index.

To report a site appearing in search results that is in violation of our guidelines, please complete the Report Search Spam form.

Note: 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, SafeSearch results have been filtered to remove possibly objectionable material. SafeSearch can be set to one of three modes: Strict, Moderate, or Off, and can be password protected.
