I was recently asked by a member where did I find the images that I sent them and my answer was: search engines.  I also included a short tutorial, and they suggested I shared it with a wider audience, which I will be doing right now.  So, without further ado, I present to you:<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 24pt;"><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Al's guide to searching for smut</strong></span></span><br/><br/><strong>Disclaimer</strong>: the links below will contain explicit imagery, reader discretion is advised.<br/>(OK, that was a little ado, but now we can get back to the subject).<br/><br/>When searching for images, I usually use the following three search engines:<ul class="bbc_list"><li type="disc">DuckDuckGo (https://duckduckgo.com/)<br/></li><li type="disc">Yandex (https://yandex.com/images/)<br/></li><li type="disc">Google (https://www.google.com/imghp)</li></ul>There are other search engines, but I find that the combination of those three gives me good results.<br/><br/>The links for Yandex and Google go directly to the image search page of the corresponding sites.<br/>For DDG, it is not possible to link to an image search page directly, so one must either search on their "general" page and then click on the "images" tab, or include the term<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: courier;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>!i</strong></span></span>(bang i) in the search string.<br/><br/>Both DDG and Yandex have a "family/safe" filter with three levels of filtering: strict, moderate, and off, which can be changed using a drop-down on the search page.<br/><br/>Google, unfortunately, has only two settings: strict and moderate.  It is still possible to get unfiltered results on Google, but only if it decides that the user is<em>specifically</em>searching for adult images, based on the terms of the search.<br/><br/>For example, searching DuckDuckGo for images of<strong>Denise Milani</strong>(a "glamour model") with "safe search" set to "off", results in some quality boobage (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=denise+milani&t=ffsb&iar=images&iax=images&ia=images), while a similar Google search shows no nips in sight (https://www.google.com/search?q=denise+milani&tbm=isch).<br/><br/>However, as I mentioned above, Google can be coerced to do better by including "unsafe" search terms the query, such as<strong>nude</strong>,<strong>naked</strong>,<strong>porn</strong>, et cetera.  So changing the query to<strong>Denise Milani nude</strong>provides more relevant results (https://www.google.com/search?q=denise+milani+nude&tbm=isch).<br/><br/>However, the word "nude" in the query above not only disables the nanny filter, but also serves as one of the search terms, which may not necessarily be our intent, as it will only return results from web pages where all three search words are present.  Luckily this problem can be overcome it by using the "OR" advanced search keyword.<br/><br/>Let's have a short detour to explain how Google treats the search terms.  If I search for<strong>cat dog</strong>, Google will try to find results matching both "cat" and "dog".  If I want to search for<em>either</em>, I would write<strong>cat OR dog</strong>, or the equivalent<strong>cat | dog</strong>.  Now what if I wanted to search for results that must match "cat" but can optionally match "dog" as well?  I could write<strong>cat cat | dog</strong>as my query, which means: search for results matching "cat" as well as either "cat" or "dog".  But since the word "cat" was already present in the query unconditionally, it will make Google search for "cat", giving a slight boost for results that match "dog" as well, but not requiring that match.<br/><br/>Likewise searching for<strong>Denise Milani nude | Denise</strong>on Google, will match "Denise" and "Milani" and use the presence of the term "nude" to disable the filtering, without adversely affecting the search.  For this particular search the results (https://www.google.com/search?q=denise+milani+nude+|+denise&tbm=isch) are only slightly different from the above, but in the general case they are usually more accurate.<br/><br/>This concludes this episode of "Searching for lewds for fun and profit".<br/>-- Al<br/>
