Google has worried for years that Apple would one day expand its internet search technology, and has been working on ways to prevent that from happening.
Just for you I did a couple of quick searches and discovered something extraordinary. I’ll leave out most of the specific terms I tried but basically anything for an explicit topic just doesn’t have web results at all. It merely offers to search in the browser using your default search engine.
“Masturbation” also had no Apple web results but pulled up a Shortcuts result with the option to turn on the “Do Not Disturb Focus”!
Cool of you to go to the trouble. Not super surprising that’d be the result. Really makes you wonder how Apple would approach having a proper search competitor to Google.
Interesting I hadn’t heard that before. I wonder how sanitized, if at all, those search results are.
