Quite. Same goes for "beads", "flashlight", or the French word for cucumber
("concombre"). The "tolling bells" toll as loudly as ever.
This Wikipedia search form is SFW (safe for work):
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&search=&fulltext=Search&profile=images
The search results for the above terms (and many others) are not SFW.
The NSFW search results issue never was solved. It's just one of those
things there was no political will to fix.
