So are "banned" words the ones that don't auto-fill when you're searching (I mainly use Ixquick for a search engine)?

I do know that you can't Google the names of porn stars... Someone told me that once.

LOL, as far as I can tell you can totally Google the names of porn stars. I was trying to look up my younger brother once...turns out he shares a name with a porn star. Googling it certainly seemed to work okay in that respect...

LOL seconding-- my maiden name was the name of a pornstar, and I still have to google it from time to time to check for old idk, angelfire pokemon shrines or something resurfacing (IT HAPPENS IT IS EMBARRASSING). But no, it's mostly just porn.

My first name is pretty unusual and if you google only that, you get a lot of hits about a porn star who also has it. Heh. Although a now-well-known Olympian from the most recent Olympics also has my name, so probably she'll probably be way up there as well.

You can definitely Google them, but it just doesn't auto-fill the names like it normally would. Of course, Google auto-complete is a piece of shit and I refuse to use it, so w/e.
