How to turn off SafeSearch on Google and Bing
When SafeSearch is enabled, search engines block what they consider adult content in search results. If you want to include these results in your searches, you'll have to turn off SafeSearch first. Here's how.
How to turn off SafeSearch on Google
To disable the Google SafeSearch feature on your desktop, simply open Google Search and go to Settings> Search Settings> SafeSearch Filters. There you can uncheck "Turn on SafeSearch".
For more detailed instructions on this process, as well as how to do it on mobile devices, see our dedicated guide. It lists and explains every step you need to follow to enable mature content results in your searches.
How to turn off SafeSearch on Bing
If you use Bing as your search engine, it's easy to disable SafeSearch on this engine on both desktop and mobile.
Disable Bing SafeSearch on the desktop
On your Windows, Mac, Linux, or Chromebook desktop computer, open a web browser and start the Bing site. In the upper-right corner of Bing, click on the hamburger menu (three horizontal stripes).
In the menu that opens, click on "SafeSearch".
You will see a "Search" page. Here, in the "SafeSearch" section, enable the "Shut down" option. This disables Bing SafeSearch for you.
In case you don't want to disable SafeSearch altogether, but prefer to change its effect, use either the "Moderate" or "Strict" options for SafeSearch.
To save changes, in the pop-up menu from the bottom of the screen, click "Save".
Disable Bing SafeSearch on mobile
On your Android, iPhone, or iPad, launch a web browser and open the Bing website. In the upper-right corner of the site, click on the hamburger menu (three horizontal stripes).
From the menu that opens, select "SafeSearch".
On the "Search" page, in the "SafeSearch" section, activate the "Shut down" option. This removes the SafeSearch filter.
Save your changes by clicking "Save" in the menu that opens.
Make sure you are at least 18 years old by clicking OK in the prompt that opens.
