While Google and Bing might take up such 'lofty' initiatives in an effort to appease some groups, I think an open source search engine (Does Mozilla Firefox have its own search capability?) would be less likely to block such searches. But, in a nutshell, the private companies that run the search engines could legally block certain content. The question is: would the government ever move to do such a thing? We might not think so, but this is the same government that brought us the Patriot Act, indefinite detention, CISPA, and targeted drone strikes on American citizens who have never been charged with crimes (with tthe open option to do the same on American soil).
