You’ll quickly notice that Microsoft’s Bing decision engine (which we talk very much about here) comes in the 100th place, with YouTube and Google taking the first and second place, respectively. Disturbingly, you’ll also find that our kids are searching for “sex, porn, boobs, and pussy.”

Now, a breakdown by sex:

YouTube and Google remain with the same interest levels between both boys and girls. However, the two genders are still interested in “sex”, with the 5th most popular search queries by boys being “porn”, as opposed to “porn” taking the 24th place for girls.

Finally, a breakdown by age group:

Surprisingly, you’ll find that “porn” is the 4th most searched term for children under the age of 7! The search query “sex” takes 4th place for children aged 8-18.
