Safe Search is a feature on many search engines that filters out explicit or adult content from search results. This can be helpful for parents who want to protect their children from seeing inappropriate content, or for people who simply don't want to see graphic or disturbing content in their search results.
However, sometimes you may want to turn off Safe Search to get more comprehensive search results. For example, you might need to do research on a sensitive topic, or you might be looking for something that is not considered "safe." Whatever your reason, it's easy to turn off Safe Search on most search engines.
Here are the steps on how to turn off Safe Search on Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo:
