New description:

 The default startpage search from within torbrowser uses the 'family
 friendly' filters for text, image, and video content. I suggest modifying
 the default startpage search settings to remove all filtering and provide
 the raw results.

 The startpage preferences page lets you remove the filtering. Their
 suggested URL for searches without these settings is {{{
 https://startpage.com/do/mypage.pl?prfh=sslEEE1N1Nfont_sizeEEEmediumN1Nrecent_results_filterEEE1N1Nlanguage_uiEEEenglishN1Ndisable_open_in_new_windowEEE1N1Ndisable_family_filterEEE1N1Nnum_of_resultsEEE10N1NlanguageEEEenglishN1Ndisable_video_family_filterEEE1N1N
 }}}

 I ran into this filtering when searching for some data about sex workers
 and labor trafficking in the USA. The resulting text and image results
 were neutered due to the topic.
