Known blocked terms
WARNING: This post contains words which many people may find disturbing or offensive. People who read this post aloud may find random strangers shoving bars of soap in their mouths. Printing it out from work computers is not recommended.
As of this writing, a long list of interst terms, and all derivations of them, cannot be searched on LiveJournal. They fall into three identifiable categories:
Save the Children
This set has two parts: a "family terms" list and an "activities/interests" list. Any interest that contains one from *each* set will be unsearchable; however, all these terms are searchable on their own, and in combination with other words--just not in combination with the other set.
For example, "child porn is blocked from search, although "child" and "porn" are searchable by themselves, and "food porn" is searchable, while "weoweichildasdf5pornzzaow" is not.

Because of this set, the following terms are unsearchable:
asexual motherhood, baby grapes, baby skinks, baby talcum powder, children's choral music, circumcising little boys, draper family, ecumenical schools, family of coral, family morals, family morality, jaunty drapes, moral brotherhood, porgy's grandma, scumbag dads, spanking in schools, stripping the gauntlet, sussex county virginia, unisex baby clothes, young grapefruit, young mayoral candidates.
However, because some very similar terms are not blocked, it's still possible to search for:
child pr0n, infant porn, father fellatio, my sister's breast, naked little girls, raping babies, screwing mothers and so on.
This seems like a very ineffective bit of blocking software.
