I think if they actually did decide to filter searches, it's likely because some people complained about kids "stumbling upon" content they didn't approve of (just like when I was little they stumbled upon all the dirty words in the dictionary and all the library copies of National Geographic that had women without shirts on). I doubt they care one way or the other whether I'm buying Shakespeare or SpankFest2009.
