I noticed if I search for the band "Pig Destroyer" absolutely nothing turns up in the result. But if you search their album titles ("Head Cage" for example) they turn up. These albums are organized in folders clearly labeled with "Pig Destroyer" in the title... so how come just searching for "Pig Destroyer" results with nothing?

Kind of seems like "pig" is a banned word?

That's totally insane, but you're right!

I can type any racist or homophobic term in the search and get a result.... but "pig" is a no go.

As it was such an odd word to be blocked, i tried it. Works for me..  First hit was "Prowler in the yard", and several after that.

Seems like "pig" is unbanned now, neat. 

Would be nice to get official acknowledgement of the cause + restoration!  :o
