http://search34.org/ has been doing this for a few years.

As the creator described it to me: it does a search, and a parallel search with porn filters, and returns the diff.

It appears this one works the same way. As the About page explains:

    Search for images and only get the unsafe ones. That's
    Filther in a nutshell. We give you only the stuff that
    Safe Search Filters leave out. This search is strictly
    NSFW. And let's be honest, this is what the internet
    was made for.

I guess the best use of this is to demonstrate how many false positives traditional filters have...

Even though you're making a joke it's actually interesting. The only search I've done (to see how ridiculous the internet is?) is "sunny walks on the beach". I chose the "destroyer of children" filter and once you get past maybe 10-15 dirty pictures its incredible the stuff that is actually completely safe for work that I guess Google somehow filters out lol

The very safe pics appearing in the middle of the nsfw ones came from domains with otherwise adult content (a chicken noodle bowl on i.e. pussyleaks.com) . In hindsight it seems obvious, I never thaught about the halo effect of adult content hiding the other contents from normal searches.

A bowl of noodles on an otherwise porn site is not a big deal, but if there was an interview site with half of it's contents nsfw (say they interviewed nudists or exibitionists) it would have to deal with the issue.

I know a bunch of site that use different domains to segregate contents(dmm.com and dmm.co.jp for instance), but I wonder what other ways there are to keep your safe content searchable while having an nsfw portion on the same site.

The trending search term "noodles" seems to only give SFW pics of noodles or completely unrelated NSFW results.

I noticed that too. Which I guess means there's potentially a whole world of content filtered out as being NSFW when really it's fine...

This doesn't really work. My searches are very unrelated.

The results are terrible, even using actual names from models gets you random results.

I even tried kurt cobain on "Destroyer of childhoods" mode and didn't get even one copy of the infamous coroner's picture.

On google is on top of all result with safesearch off.

You've answered your own question in that last sentence - if Google isn't filtering it using safesearch then it won't appear on Filther

it did pretty terribly at 'fractal'.

Might want to capitalize that warning, and add nsfw. I'm very happy one of my kids was not looking over my shoulder. I guess I'm with the late Mr Jobs on this one --thinking this is not necessarily advancing the internet or making the world a better place.

Even if you clicked on the link, it's a completely innocuous page. It explains what it does, but it doesn't use any foul language doing that.

What's the risk of having one of your kids looking over your shoulder?

Mr Jobs opposed a product that was invented after his death?
