We did once have a similar problem if you searched for Adult Services
from within our website. Rectified (I think) but not as much fun.

On the grounds that absolutely nothing is ever "new": there was a
similar scare story about ten years ago which revolved around the
"revelation" that a walled-garden site [which were trendy then, but seem
to have wasted away] for children, could be used to access adult
material if you used particular words with the embedded search engine -
which obviously then took you outside the walled garden and onto the
wider Internet.
