[citation][nom]fuser[/nom]This article isn't talking about image search. It's talking about video search. Google's video search does not auto-play videos when you hover over the thumbnail (unless it's some advanced setting that I can't find?).[/citation]
Turn off the default filter in bing and you may get the pictures you were looking foe as well.

This is the only thing about bing that is worth a crap. It would be really cool if the thumbnail got larger when hovered over as well. Come on bing, hook me up. I'm sure that will give you a few more hits a day.

ta152h: Everyone does love porn, it's just that not everyone wants other people to look at porn.
That is most likely the big problem with porn there are those that would secretly watch porn but when it comes to being open and admitting that they watch porn they act like they're holy.

Here is one issue many people don't seem to understand. If you work in IT, many companies have strict policies on blocking stuff like porn. You put solutions in place to monitor traffic and block certain sites. Companies have gotten sued (crazy as it sounds) because employees managed to find porn on work computers.

So.... it's up to us to make sure they can't get to it. Bing pretty much works around all of that by caching some of the video content on Microsoft's servers. So when a user does disable their filters (knowingly) and searches for something like "sex scenes" they can watch those little video clips and unless you completely block bing.com (which we do now...) they will be able to play that video. They can't go to the site that contains the full video but they can stream the preview clips returned from the bing searches because they are streaming from bing and not the original site.
