Safe Search set to strict in Internet Explorer

Hello Narayan,

I suggest you to follow the steps below on how to change your Bing Safe Search settings:

Go to
http://www.bing.com/

• 
  Click the Gear (Preferences) icon towards the top right side of the page.
  
• 
  In the SafeSearch section, select your desired setting:
  

• 
  Strict – Filter adult text, images and videos from your search results.
  
• 
  Moderate – Filter adult images and videos but not text from your search results.
  
• 
  Off – Don’t filter adult content from your search results.
  

• 
  Click Save
  

Hope the information is helpful.

 

Reply To Zebal Regarding Safe Search And Search Suggestions

I use Bing as my search engine in both IE11 and Chromium Edge and stay logged into Bing at all times. Obviously, Bing's menu is where I have to go to turn Safe Search OFF, as well as, uncheck Use Search Suggestions. Safe Search is OFF in Start Menu Settings, and both Safe Search and Search Suggestions are set to be off in the registry. I have no idea what else to do to keep both OFF permanently. Logically you would think if you turn Safe Search OFF in Start Settings that would work, but it doesn't … don't know why they even have the option since it doesn't work. With Bing you would think if you turn Safe Search off in the menu and uncheck Search Suggestions, then click Save and Agree, that would take care of it, but it doesn't. Many times I do both, and before I can even open the first web page, Safe Search is back to Moderate again, and Search Suggestions re-checked. Again, I have no idea what else to do. I have discussed this with Microsoft many times and they usually don't answer and change the subject to something else. It's a shame I can't be in control of my own PC!

 

Safe Search on Bing Images in Windows 10

How do I lock Safe Search into Strict Mode on my children's account? I have edited their accounts in the Family section to block inappropriate websites and it says adult content is blocked, but it can still be easily accessed by simply turning safe Search
to "Off" in Bing Images.



This issue prevents me from letting them use the computers without constant supervision, especially when friends are over.

How do I fix this? If I can't block adult content in Microsoft's own program, how comfortable can I be with anything else it is supposed to prevent?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

MPP
